the beach

the frantzen's and the knutson's on blue mountain beach, florida
tyler's first day on the beach...not sure what to think of it yet. he didn't touch the sand for 2 days.

he was a little scared of the water...i think it was too loud for his little ears :)
finally by day 4 he was alright sitting on the sand
tyler playing with brady in the sand...kind of
my boys
the view from our adagio pool
chad and i finally enjoyed a romantic picnic on the beach (by ourselves) our last night. this was our sunset.
date night. we had drinks at fish out of water, bud and alleys and then a wonderful dinner at caliza restaurant in alys beach. a perfect evening!!!!
well...we survived our first family vacation or trip as i've been told they're called once you have children!!! we drove to destin, florida or to be exact, blue mountain beach, for 1 week of fun on the beach with our good friends the knutsons. not sure what to say about the long drive except that i probably don't recommend it :) but once we got there and settled in, we had a wonderful time. the beach was beautiful---with the exception of several "oil globs" floating around in the water every so often. not a big deal at all!!! glad the oil didn't keep us away. and from what i hear, it was the perfect time to go as the crowds were non-existent and we could drive down 30a and walk into restaurants with no problems. we spent our mornings on the beach and our afternoons in the pool. we also were able to have an "adult only" date night which was fabulous!!! all in all, it was a wonderful trip and i just adored spending an entire week with my boys on the beach and under the sun.
