The Beach Life

Relaxing at Destin Commons

We took a break from gardening and went on vacation. Yes, while Dad stayed to tend to the cows, the Boss, the Queen, the Monkey and I escaped to the beach with my family. The sea was salty, the sand was sandy, and every bit of it was fun. There is truly nothing like a little rest and relaxation to make you feel human again.

The girls spent most of their time rolling in the surf like mermaids while the Boss spent his days finding ways to be carried around. He discovered that Pepaw was a softy and so made an easy target!

Feeding the fish at Fish Lips

Nothing like filling your belly and falling asleep!

When we were back on the farm the girls told me how much they missed the ocean, their cousins, and the crazy aunts that drank Coca-Cola for breakfast. They also wanted to know when they were going to get to do that!

Notes From the Boss

Enjoying a little sun, sand, and surf.

After driving and driving and driving, we finally arrived at the biggest pond I have ever seen! All of Dad's cows could fit in this thing and still have room to swish around. The water kept coming in and going out making a pounding noise that was just so exciting. I'm going to tell Dad to put a pond like that on the farm. Yeah, that would be good. Cousin O was there as well. I had to explain to her about my toys and how she couldn't touch them. I tell you what...girls just don't listen. Also, her mom had to explain to her that I wasn't a drum. My mom said she was just excited to see me...whatever Mom. I think next time I'm going to be excited to see her. What do you think about that Mom? In the end it was okay because Pepaw understood. He would scoop me up out of danger and show me the sights. I like that old guy. He is just about my speed.
