Spring Break - Seacrest/South Walton Beach, FL

We were so lucky to return to the beach for Spring Break with some of our best buddies: the Puzeys, the Harris', the Memorys, and the Hansens. Seacrest/South Walton Beach is in the Florida Panhandle, and it is amazing! The white sugar sand is so awesome! There were huge waves this year, so anyone brave enough to get in the freezing water had a great time. Here are pictures of our fabulous vacation.


Family Pictures

Our friend, Doug Puzey, is so nice to take family pictures for all of us each year. He does a great job! Thanks Doug!!!




Scenes of the Beach







Corbi's First Trip to the Beach



He hated the sand. Whenever we tried to put him down he would curl up every part of his body as high as he could. He finally figured out it is was fun on the last day.

Second Beach Day


The water was FREEZING!






Connor & Carter
They kept falling out of the raft. It was so funny.
They finally got it figured out and had a ball in the waves.




Daddy and his girl



Sandcastle

The whole crew got together and built this sandcastle...twice.
It got washed away in the tide during the night,
so they built it again the next day.




Cade worked really hard digging a big ditch at the bottom to try and save it from being destroyed.



Surf Fishing

The dads and kids had a good time fishing the surf. The waves were too big to catch much, but they still had fun.






Chad Harris, Brain Memory, Jer and the kids
fishing after our family pictures.

Chad trying to cast out past the waves. He was the only one who hooked anything besides a crab.
He caught an ocean catfish.
Connor & Cassidy Harris
They both turn 12 at the beginning of August (1 day apart) but they look like a newlywed couple here.


The Beach House

This is the neighborhood our beach houses were in, Magnolia Cottages by the Sea. It is just this main street with about 6 side streets, each with about 6 houses. It is a charming little neighborhood. The kids have a ball running from house to house, having sleepovers, swimming in the pool, riding bikes, taking walks, etc.
We want to go back every year!






Corbin and his buddy Heaton Harris


Morning Walks on the Beach


Early morning was my favorite time to go to the beach. It is so peaceful and beautiful. We walk in the surf and collect shells. Maia and I took a walk while the boys fished.







Third Beach Day


Corbin finally figured out the sand was actually kinda fun.

The evidence is still coming through in his diaper.


The boys spent forever digging this hole.

They were so proud of it.
