Life at the BEACH.... Sandestin- July 2009

Today we got home from a 5 day trip to Sandestin, FL! Matt had a conference in Baytown Wharf and we stayed at a prime location in the village! The village is like a small square with tons, and tons of places to dine, a few playgrounds, great shopping, etc! Though it isn't beach side we did make to the beach a few times! Speaking of which, when Davis says the word beach it sounds a little bit more like a cuss word- but I promise he is indeed saying beach!!!! We've tried to work on the pronunciation a little bit but it doesn't seem to help too much (besides, does it make us bad parents if we get a small chuckle out of it)? I must admit that the first day we hit the beach Davis wasn't a fan- I was thinking he might be more of a pool boy! However, the 2nd time at the beach went so much better and it turns out he might like the beach after all! Especially when Daddy brings the umbrella, his chair, and he steals all some of Mommy's strawberry daiquiri (virgin of course)! Below are a few pictures of our trip...

Day 1 @ the Beach...

Holding on tight to Daddy.

Getting use to the walking in the sand... it is an art (especially when pregnant)!Day Two: What a difference a day makes (and a daiquiri- Just kidding)!Slurp...

Davis loved this toy watering can both at the beach and the poolOH...MY...GOODNESS! We ADORE this little boy! Apprehensive at first but quickly warms up to almost anyone and anything!!!

Last Day at the Beach...
Playing in the water with Daddy...

Umm... slightly sandy! Wonder Why?

Because Daddy buried him of course!

Mommy, Davis, and Baby Gorman (just shy of 6 months pregnant)!Always a little bit humbling to go the beach while pregnant...

but ALWAYS worth it every time!!!

Poolside- through out the trip!

Daddy had yet to see just how well acclimated Davis was to the pool since Davis and I took Mommy and Me swimming session! Needless to say, Daddy has his hands full and Davis loved jumping off the side of the island & "swimming" to his Daddy!Just chillin'! Actually this is one of the things the lessons taught Davis! To utilize the side of the pool if need be! Need didn't be- let me assure you! However, I impressed that the little fellow can hang on for as long as he can!Out of the pool playing with one of his new favorite fascinations- Thomas the Train! It started out as just a train fascination but once Thomas was discovered quickly escalated! We watched that darn DVD over and over again on this trip!But I do love to hear him say "Choo, Choo"!Lastly, the trip went by in the blink of an eye! Thanks Daddy/Matt for taking us with you!!! Can you please sign up for more conferences like that?????
