Hurricanes and Stingrays

We recently took a family trip to Fort Walton Beach, Florida. We had to leave a day late because Trevor had two soccer make up games scheduled at the last minute. So, we left on Sunday instead of Saturday, as we had planned. After an endless car trip on Sunday, we learned that a hurricane was headed right for the gulf. Thankfully, it ended up weakening to a tropical storm--which was still a little scary for Mom--and we only missed about a day and a half of beach time. The kids actually got to play on the beach for half a day on the first full day we were there (thank goodness) and then we had 3 more beautiful days after the rain and wind moved out. All in all, it was a good trip, and we have lots of photos and memories to cherish. One of the funniest things that happened is that Trevor helped catch a stingray while the guys were fishing off the pier! Don't have a photo of that one, but Jody managed to get video of it. The kids also built sand castles, saw a crab, and got to see a sea turtle and dolphins. Trevor couldn't wait to get back and tell his class and Mrs. Kie about his trip!
