Christmas Vacation Fun

The morning after Christmas we piled the kids and boogie boards in the car and headed down to Satellite Beach, Florida, for three days. We fell in love with the place when we were living there for 3 1/2 months while Rick was doing a preceptorship at Patrick Air Force Base his last year of school. We forgot how much we liked that place. It is so beautiful and has great beaches!

Blake and Dad spent the entire time boogie boarding and had a blast. Blake is finally old enough to be out by himself most of the time riding along side Dad.Ashlyn decided that she wanted to try out the boogie boards. We figured this summer she'd be the same age Blake was when he learned, but tried to tell her she was probably too little now. She wouldn't listen and insisted on trying - her ride was short lived when a wave knocked her off. She was pretty mad about falling off and wouldn't try again.Instead she spent her time trying to out run the waves all weekend. It was the cutest thing to watch...she'd scream and laugh her head off, running as fast as her little legs would go.
Just like when we lived there, we'd spend a long day at the beach and then end up in the pool at the end of the day to relax and get all the salt and sand off!

While sometimes we miss the snow and sledding...there's also nothing better than the warmth and the beach! Glad you guys enjoyed yours too! Sarah and all
