For Fall Break we went with our good friends the Lindemanns to
St. Joseph Peninsula State Park in Florida. It is an awesome campground on the beach. I've never combined a camping trip with a beach trip, and I was a little apprehensive about it. But it was terrific! The weather was perfect, the beach was beautiful and deserted since it was off-season, and the campground was great also, among palm trees and long leaf pine trees. We'd take a short boardwalk to the beach, spend several hours there, then head back for the fun of camping. The only downside was the abundance of mosquitoes in the morning and evening, but nothing a little bug spray couldn't handle.
The Lindemanns brought our kids' bikes as well as theirs, so they got some good bike rides in also. On one bike ride, one of Colby's training wheels fell off and he didn't even notice. So after a couple practice loops around the campground with Dad, he's now training wheel free. Woo-hoo!
I love the way my friend Nathalie put it, "The beach is everybody's babysitter." So true!
Excuse the pink hat. We've lost Dallin's.
Dallin's first touch of the ocean. Not too thrilled about it.

Now that's my kind of vacation! Looks like you had a great time. I can't believe how big your kids are getting! Dallin's a cutie. And that snake -- yowzers!
