Vacation - Day 6 (7.18.08)

There were green and purple flags flying the beach today. The green flag means calm surf, but the purple flag is a warning of hazardous marine life. Apparently the jellies were bad, but we didn't see too many. By the time we left, they had taken the purple flag down.

Paw Paw at the beach.

Isaiah was a little nervous about the sand at first, but he really started to enjoy himself.

Shelby and Holly taking a break from building their sand castles to pose for a picture.

This beach might be really hot, but it sure is fun! The water temperature was around 84 degrees!

The white on the horizon in the middle of the picture is sand blowing around near Fort Pickens. The road to Fort Pickens is still closed due to hurricane damage, but you can walk or ride a bicycle down there.

I'm trying to work up my nerve...

Try to find the dark shadow in the center of this picture. It was a HUGE stingray - probably the size of a picnic table!

Shelby's hermit crab

My view from the lunch table was spectacular! I love eating at the beach!

Isaiah is definitely a fan of flounder chowder!

Now this is a real piece of key lime pie!

We stopped by Publix on the way home for some Boar's Head lunch meat. It's the best!

No nibbling fish in this water!

Isaiah loves his Aunt Jenny!

Kari came to visit!

Vacation - Day 5 (7.17.08)

After our scrumptious breakfast of Dad's famous biscuits & gravy, we took a ride out to Redeemer to see our old stomping grounds. Here is our first house!

Redeemer Lutheran Church, Warrington, FL


Lunch at Captain D's followed our visit to Redeemer, and then a dip in the pool! Shelby is very relaxed in the ring.

Holly says, "Watch me go under water!"

Tim went to Mobile for a Bay Bears game with his buddies Dan and Stefan. We went to Steak-n-Shake (YUM!) for dinner. We also shopped at Target and Barnes & Noble. Thank you, Mom and Dad for the yummy Key Lime Cheesecake!

Bitsy is doing a great job taking Isaiah. He likes to flick at her ears.

Vacation - Day 4 (7.16.08)

I'll miss you, Grandma and Grandpa! Mommy and Daddy are still singing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to me!

Twinkle, twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle, twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are!

Nap time in the car - Isaiah slept from Memphis, TN to Jackson, MS. Lunch at Chik-fil-A was so yummy!

Vacation - Day 3 (7.15.08)

I saw my cup! I want some milk!

That's much better! Check it out, Gretchen - Isaiah can drink from a straw now!!!

Visiting with Great-Grandma Seabaugh

Isaiah was a terror at Logan's (lunch with great-grandma), but he finally fell asleep!

Daddy and Isaiah at the nature center

Sorry! No hunting license for you!

Cousins playing at Ponderosa (after another meal melt-down from Isaiah...)

I can see you!

I love my aunties!

Vacation - Day 2 (7.14.08)

Wake-up time - around 8:15 a.m.

Isaiah enjoyed sitting with Grandma while Grandpa cooked breakfast (eggs, toast, and bacon).

We went to Memorial Park in Cape to see the peacocks.


Isaiah is walking with his dad and grandpa at Memorial Park. Next, we tried the Nature Center, but it's closed on Mondays. :-(

Isaiah was too excited about the Mississippi River to look at the camera. Oh, well!

Daddy and Isaiah at the riverfront in downtown Cape

After we stopped at the riverfront, it was time for lunch. Pizza Inn was a nice choice. I know that I won't soon forget the delicious cream cheese danish type dessert pizza. YUM!!!

Where's Isaiah? Peek-a-boo! Apparently, this was much more fun than taking a nap.

But don't worry! Isaiah finally got his nap at dinner at the Gordonville Grill.

Isaiah was a little antsy at the table, but he was having fun looking at his Aunt Rachel through the window.

Time for an ice cream treat at Sonic!

Scrumptious!

Thanks for sharing your ice cream with me, Dad!
