Beach Trip 2011

We just returned from our yearly beach trip with our good friends the Rs.....this time we headed to a different beach in the South Walton Beach area...and had great weather, good talks, lots of laughs, and of course, tons of boogie boarding!!!  This was Florie's first REAL time on the beach.  Her hometown in China, Beihai, is home of Silver Beach which is a famous vacation spot for the Chinese.  We took her there on the day we visited Beihai and her orphanage, and all I have to say is that Florida is MUCH more my style :)  She was leery of the ocean the first day, but took to it by the end of the trip. She is still a fish in the pool.....she LOVED going underwater with her eyes open and waving at the other kids under the water.  Alex fished again this time, but not so much luck.  Ben found a horseshoe crab among many other fun "friends," and Jack pretty much boogie boarded the ENTIRE trip!  We will look forward to next year :)
