October 10th--our first full day in Florida

We had a busy day this day! We went to the beach for the first time and got to get in the gulf:

After all that exciting beach play and swimming, we ate lunch and headed out to check out the Eden Gardens State Park:

Then, back to the beach for some more fun:

After the beach, we would head to the pool. Drew said he liked the pool more than the gulf, but we told him we didn't fly all this way for the pool! Here's the gang having fun...later this day, we bought innertubes for everyone and a beach ball, and they loved their innertubes, even Alex, who refused to get in one at our Dublin pool this summer! The pool was always warm, so even on the chillier mornings we could play in here!





Drew and Papaw soaking up some sun...or maybe just taking a break from all the swimming!





Nana and Alex in the pool.





There were butterflys everywhere, especially monarchs. They were heading south too! Carla, any of these look familiar? Senor Mariposa, is that you?
