Summer Lovin'

The only thing I missed about the South when we lived in Colorado was the beach. Okay, maybe not the only thing (I also missed fresh oysters, shrimp, basically all seafood, and my family) but it was definitely the main thing that I missed. Nothing says summer to me like the beach. Living in Mobile was okay, Gulf Shores was only about an hour away, so not too bad, but living in Niceville is unbelievably better. We are smack dab in between Destin and Fort Walton Beaches, twenty minutes either way. 

What makes that ideal situation even more fun is that Aaron's business partner Chris and his wife Lynne own two jet-skis. They also just recently purchased a boat. We took the newly acquired boat out last weekend to make sure she was sea-worthy, and she definitely proved herself. Lucky for us, the oil hadn't made it to our neck of the woods yet, and we were able to spend some time out in the Gulf, as well as the Sound. 

Aiden is a trooper-we were out for almost 9 hours, and he. never. cried. He slept, he swam, and he beach bummed it with the best of them. He is definitely his parent's child. Guess we'll keep 'em :-)

Fort Walton Sound...so nice and calm

Already yawning...no stamina this one

 He is amused...not sure by what but I'm not knocking it

Aaron is officially in love with jet-skiing; he wants to buy one ASAP, I however would like a car that was made in this decade!

The Destin Bridge/Crab Island

Chillin with dad

Does water get any better than this? I don't think so...

 Docked for lunch at Helenback; the one time of the day that Aiden got fussy-I think it was the unruly World Cup fans

So there you have it-our Saturday funday, and oh mama did we have a blast. I also survived with only a slight sunburn...nice. What's in store for the 4th? More of the same, only this time there will be fireworks...lots of them.

On a side note, if you like reading my blog let me know! Or add yourself as a follower, or both! I'd love to know if you enjoy it :-) 

On another side note, today is mine and Aaron's 1st wedding anniversary-wow! I can't believe a year has already flown by. We will be celebrating with a night out on the town, okay maybe not a whole night, as I turn into a pumpkin around 10ish, but we will definitely enjoy our sushi dinner, alone. Yes, we have a babysitter. Awesome!
