We escaped for a few days down to Pensacola Beach, FL to enjoy surf and sand for Spring Break. We all came home sick, but fun was had to start.
We loved the restaurants down there as they almost all had playgrounds for the kids to play on while waiting for your table or while you're eating but the kids are done.
And I loved that at two of the restaurants we ate at, there were a couple other kids with Down syndrome.
Beach time!
The water was too cold for me but all the boys loved it.
Burying Wyatt in the sand.
Burying Daddy in the sand.
Ethan sliding and Wyatt climbing on the outside of the playset - that kid is going to give me a heart attack for sure!
Ethan had far too much fun to stop and eat.
Evan Jack got up and played - he and Wyatt played tag.
Day #2 we were under a tornado watch so we got in the car and went for a drive to the Navel Aviation Museum. It also helped distract the boys while Jason had a business call to attend.
The boys humored me and stood under the flag so I could get their pictures.
A closer view.
Our last day at the beach we drove over to Fort Pickens to walk around (we go every time we're in town and the boys love it) and catch a practice of the Blue Angels.
Watching atop part of the Fort.
Ethan's favorite thing is the match the maps with the actual Fort locations.
Then back to the beach for a blended drink and fun on the sand.
I love how they can all amuse themselves now. We also bought a fun paddle board game to play on the beach. Great exercise and lots of fun.
Surf's up!
It was a fun visit but we were all sick (or getting sick) by the time we left. The rest of Spring Break and the following week was spent recovering from the Flu A & B, an ear infection and a sinus infection. I think from now on we'll spend Spring Break at home - the last two years we've had trips and come home REALLY sick.
