Amber made a princess sand village, complete with a mall with gowns for the ball, and houses for poor people....(her words)
Ahhh.. nothing like your toes in the sand!
I-10 was shut down for a few hours, so we stopped in Alabama at the Sam's Warehouse sized fireworks store.... $200 bucks later, Amber became the most popular kid on the beach when we were handing out fireworks to her new friends... we got tired of shooting them all! some were like the ones you see at the city fireworks show!
I had to take this picture, as we have a similar one from when Amber was about 4 years old...gamma has it hanging on her wall!
So we had to take another vacation... Amber didn't get to go on the first one, so we loaded up the car and took a trip with the whole family (even Thor got to go) down to Destin Florida for the 4th of July!
We got a condo on the golf course, across the street from the beach. Beautiful white sands and turquoise waters, similar to the view that our wedding beach had... but sunsets weren't on the water, and the beach was rather small, comparatively. Still a beautiful trip.
We had so much fun! Morgan bet Amber she couldn't remember everything she did, so she started listing it.... and five minutes later STILL had not named all of the activities! She really did turn into a fish while in Florida, boogie boarding, body surfing, wave jumping, snorkeling - even had a small run in with a jelly fish and some sting rays while in town. As soon as we got to the beach, she took off, running in circles, dancing around like a kite in the wind... that child is starting to get the same recharge from the ocean breeze that Morgan and I do!
yummy crablegs.. right on the beach on the 4th of july... after dinner, we walked down the stairs, and set up 'camp' for the sunset and upcoming fireworks display! we had two large shows going on (one on each end of the beach) as well as our own. As Amber declared: This was the BEST 4th OF JULY EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
