Mini Camping Vacation at St Andrews

 Monday morning we headed south to camp for a few days.  I can remember camping at St Andrews when I was little, so I was excited about making memories with my kids there.  

Most people take dogs camping..... we take a rabbit.

These two road a many miles on their bikes.  They loved going up and down the road and back and forth from our camper to the Messer's camper.

 Right after I took that picture of the girls, Heidi slipped and fell into the water.  She screamed bloody murder.  Scared me to death.  She landed on a bunch of barnacles and got cut up pretty bad.  Her hand, arm, knee, leg, stomach, & foot.

Hard to see all 4 here, but it's Hank, Heidi, Karter, and Sophie playing cars while we grilled supper.

I love us all just hanging out, talking, playing, and grilling. 

 Monday night the guys went floundering.  Unfortunately, they didn't get any flounder but caught a sting ray (that they cleaned and grilled *It was very good*), blow fish, and star fish.

 Saturday we went over to Shell Island.  We weren't able to stay there long before a storm threatened to roll in, but we still had fun the short time we were there.

They caught lots of hermit crabs, sand dollars, and fish

I took this of Sophie on the playground at the boat landing :).

Tyler snapped this of Mom, Sophie, and Me.

 While the men folk grilled supper Tuesday night, we rode bikes to the beach.  Much to our surprise there were a TON of surfers.  I have been to Panama City a gazillion times and never seen anything like it.  Very neat. 

 Just so happened on my timehop Tuesday was a picture of Tyler and Heidi 4 years ago.  They were sitting by each other talking, so I had to take a picture to compare :).... amazing how much she has changed in 4 short years.

Whew..... this girl is a hot mess!

He LOVED all the fish !

 Yesterday before we left we went to the beach for a bit.  It was beautiful. 

This poor fish was on the brink of death and washed ashore.

 Sadly our 3 day camping trip came to an end.  We got home last night just in time for church.  We had loads of fun and looking forward to a wonderful summer.
