Our family craves turquoise waves and salt in our hair for a substitute of the waving fields of golden wheat and crop dust of the Midwest. Just like last year we stayed on the most beautiful island in Florida, Santa Rosa...
racing on the beach,
making sandcastles that looked like seashells,
taking pictures with The Polaroid,
watching rainbows,
exhausting Frisbee tournaments,
turning the pool into a trapeze,
playing in the sea of turquoise,
shopping for the best seafood.
Enjoy some last bits of sea AND thank you Nicki and Kelly for sharing your morning with me talking shop!!

(08.29.09 @ 06:12 PM)Wow! I love the pic of Jettie she is really bookin it. =) And the one where she is wearing your sunglasses. Hughes with the dripping wet face and the shaking the sand out of his hair just make my heart melt. The colors and lighting are fantastic.

(08.31.09 @ 08:53 AM)Your pictures are so wonderful!!! Jettie Pie racing, Hughes in his hat, all so very good!!! You know that I would love/need to have some copies (please)! I feel like I am still standing on the beach watching 2 of the cutest kids, and yet on the other hand, I wish we were still there. Thanks again for including us, it was a great time!
