The weather has been beautiful these past few days and I got a crazy whim to put the kids in the car Saturday morning and take off to the beach. The trip down to Panama City, Fl was a little hectic with 3 boys. Especially since my middle son had been grouchy that morning. Although once we finally got out on the beach, everyone seemed to calm down and enjoy themselves. The water was beautiful and clear, but very very COLD! My 7 yr. old (Alex) was ecstatic. I don't think he stopped smiling the whole time we were there! He wanted sooo badly for me to go out in the water with him, and there were lots of people in the water surprisingly, but seeing as how my ankles and feet were numb from just stepping in the water, I had to decline. So he turned his interest to helping his brothers dig the biggest hole in the sand ever! That held their attention for quite sometime, which was nice. My oldest son and I enjoyed laying out and catching some warm rays from the sun, and watching Alex try to catch one of the many seagulls flying overhead.
After spending 2 or 3 hours on the beach, we were all getting pretty hungry! We packed up and headed out in search of somewhere to eat. We decided to eat at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville in the new Pier Park. It was the first time we had been there. We sat on the top deck and enjoyed the beautiful weather while eating our GIGANTIC hamburgers and sandwiches! It was delicious, but needless to say, we all had leftovers which we ate after we got home. The kids wanted to go to the arcade afterwards since I usually always take them there when we're at the beach, but I told them mom was tired and it was time to go home. They were a little disappointed at first, but got over it pretty quickly. The only thing that would have made it better is if we had stayed the night, but all in all, it was a good day!!
