Building Sandcastles

After Nolan's long nap on Saturday morning/afternoon, we headed down the street for a quick lunch. We were going to grab a sandwhich at the deli in the hotel but you would not believe what they were charging for a sanwhich. So we went "off base" as we kept saying to a local sports bar/restaurant Beef O Brady's (we have one in Crestview, too). We chowed down and then walked around a bit before heading back to the hotel for some beach fun. Saturday was pretty chilly, but luckily sunny. When I say chilly, I mean mid 50's, with a slight breeze. Brian and took our shoes off, but kept Nolan's on since he's been battling a cold. We coudn't believe it, but there were people swimming!!!! Braver than me, it needs to be HOT when I get in the water. Not long before that is, I'm sure. We actually had to keep holding Nolan back, who kept running straight for the water. He wanted to go in SO bad. Only a couple months, buddy, then we'll go! He & Daddy built a great sandcastle (actually Brian would build, Nolan would destroy and laugh and Brian would rebuild)!
You'll notice the duck in this first picture...Brian kept putting it where the tide would ALMOST take it away. Nolan thought it was the funniest thing ever to wacth Duckie riding the waves. I was having a heart attack because I thought Brian may be so concerned with making sure the duck didn't actually go out to sea that he would let Nolan run into the sea!
