The Beach

We were able to spend Friday afternoon at St. Petersburg Beach while we were in Florida. It was such a fun afternoon with Allan's dad, his Aunt Dale and her boyfriend Tommy. Claire was in heaven with the freedom to run after seagulls, dig in the sand, and splash in the ocean. Jacob ate a little sand and had a wonderful time crawling around and splashing in the little puddles we would make for him.
The highlight of our time at the beach was renting a wave runner for fifteen minutes. Claire got to go out with us for a little bit and she loved it. She liked going fast (don't worry, Allan was very careful and didn't make any fast turns with her on it). It was such a fun memory making moment. Jacob hung out under an umbrella with his Papa and Aunt Dale.
Don't be jealous of my "Crabbylicious" t-shirt. You see we had no idea we were going to the beach when we left the hotel that morning for the funeral. We had to improvise outfits from the little tourist shops and this shirt was the best I could do. It was from the restaurant Crabby Bills of all places. I was pretty much the coolest person on the beach...what can I say.

Ha! Love the shirt, it can be used as sort of a warning for Allan on days when it's just not safe! =) Glad you were able to have a little family fun on your trip.
