Destin

We went to Destin for the weekend with our friends Steev & Lori and their son Ander (age 3--8 months older than Alisa). We stayed at the rental house of The Hesser family (friends who live in Oklahoma) which is only 2 blocks from the beach. It was such a lovely weekend and we all got along great.

Clear water at the beach (it was shallow pretty far out with a nice sandbar just before it got deep):

Alisa's and Mommy's footprints (softest sand ever!):

Alisa had a blast filling buckets with sand over and over again (she didn't get in the water much this time because she was afraid of the waves):
