Beach Bum

There are a ton of pictures of one little girl on this post! You have been warned!! :) I had a teacher work day on last Thursday, so I was able to give Scott and take Emma to daycare myself. I bought her Chick-fil-A for breakfast. She loves it!! She sat right on down and started eating as soon as we got into her room.

I had Friday off for fall break, so Scott, Emma, my mom, and I left early Friday morning and headed to the beach. October is one of the best times to go to the beach. The water was clear and the weather was awesome. We got there around lunch time, checked into our room, and went out to the beach. Emma loved the beach! It has been a year since we were at the beach. We promised each other on the way down on Friday, that we would go way more often this next spring/summer!!

After she looked at the ocean from the towel, she got up and walked to the water on her own. 

We found a spot that had shallow water with very few small waves. 

She loved walking between the water and the sandy area.

 Scott and I both love the beach so we are excited that she does too!!!

Being silly as she played in the sand. :)

We went out to eat at a local restaurant and it was so good!! She was trying her first piece of laffy taffy in this picture. 

There were a few kids behind us that kept Emma's attention until the food came. I was thankful for those kids. We never know how Emma is going to act when we go out to eat. :)

Here is Scott's food. All fried but so so good! He was wanting a variety of seafood and he got it at this restaurant! We then went to get a few groceries and met up with Brandon and Krista who had just arrived for the weekend.

We slept in on Saturday. Then we went out on the balcony and had breakfast. Emma was eating a doughnut and loved eating the bacon my mom cooked that morning. 

Scott being silly with his powdered doughnut mouth. :)

She is a MESS!!! :) She sat in her chair for awhile Saturday morning on the beach.

She keeps us laughing! So glad we have a beach bum on our hands. :) We love this girl so much!!

Scott's dad, Susan, Ashleigh, Peyton, and Makayli came Saturday late morning to spend the day with us on the beach. We laid out, went into the ocean, ate at Pineapple Willy's for lunch, and went to several pools before they headed back home. Emma loved getting into the ocean with them. We put her into her little float and she was having the best time. My mom has the rest of the pics on her camera. I did not take anymore pictures of the weekend on my phone. :/

Saturday night, we ate at Margaritaville for Brandon's birthday. Then we went to Pier Park to walk around. Emma got to ride the merry-go-round a few times that night. Sunday, we went back to the beach before coming in to freshen up. We went back to Pier Park for lunch (Red Brick Pizza and Five Guys), chocolate (turtles), smoothies, more rides for Emma, and walking around before heading back to the condo to pack up. We headed home around mid-afternoon. We had an awesome time at the beach!!

Genesis 1:9-10- Then God said, "Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear." And that is what happened. God called the dry ground "land" and the waters "seas." And God saw that is was good. (NLT) I am SO glad that God created the seas and saw that it was good!!! :)
