Beach Trip

The beach was calling our name as it does this time of year so we took a trip down Okaloosa Island near Destin with our friends, the Bunches. This was our first visit to the beach with Tate as the active, mobile little boy he is now.  It was a lot of fun to play in the pool this time. Although, the beach was beautiful (and oil spill free), Tate didn't care for the sand. Despite our best efforts, he just couldn't get over it this trip. Luckily we stayed at a place with great pools and a lazy river. :) Here are some pictures from our adventure.

 This best sums up Tate's attire for the pool/beach...The first day he was miserable because his eyes burned from the sun and then he would rub his eyes and get sunscreen all in them.  Once he discovered the hat and sunglasses were a help, he didn't take them off the rest of the week (and was one cool dude). :)

Tate and Mom on the beach.  Notice Tate is happy as long as he is not touching any sand.  I have described it to people like this.  Tate loved the beach but hated the sand.
