St. Pete Beach: Day 3

Best beach, best day! This will be a day that will stand out in Joshua's mind for a long time! It will be hard to live up to. 

We found a park where we could play for a while until our pirate ship was ready to board. 

The boys enjoyed the salty air and the ability to run wild.
















At the edge of the playground was a pier looking out over the beautiful beach.

Over the trip the boys did a great job holding hands and watching out for one another. We made our way to the pirate ship. The boys were thrilled!  

When the we got on the ship the boys were given water guns. For the water gun fight. 

 Parents were told if your child didn't need you, then please go enjoy some "child-free" time.
Silas is still at the point where he needs a parent near, and it gave me a chance to watch Joshua's eyes sparkle in pirate glory.

We went out to sea and Silas got a bit grouchy, but we didn't let his crabby face ruin our fun. 

There was music and dancing. 

Joshua loved the limbo (even if he stepped over the pole.) 

By the end of the cruise we were all smiling. 

What a fun day!!!

We went back to the hotel for nap time. 

We went out to the gulf to check out the beautiful sand and water. It was lots different than Palm Coast sand.

 Silas had never been mini-golfing. It was a fun experience. Joshua had golfed once before, but was convinced he was an excellent golfer. He told was about how you needed to aim, concentrate, and hit the ball.

 We did take his confidence down encouraging him to be a better sport and reminding him that although he knew how to play, he was not the greatest golfer ever.

 We walked back to the room loving the relaxing calm of a wonderful day of family time.

The last thing we did before bed was a dive in Movie at the pool. The boys were plenty confident in their swimming abilities after 2 days and they swam around watching the Smurfs.
