Day 2 in Florida. Everyone arrived at the house in Florida; 21 of us in all. The house had 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, laundry, large living space, and we had full access to the outdoor pool and hot tub.
Monday appeared to have the best forecast for a day at the beach. We decided to head west to St. Pete's beach in the Gulf of Mexico. The weather was so beautiful and the beach was incredible. There were very few waves, the sand was like powder, and the shells were in piles. We spent hours swimming, snacking, collecting shells, walking up & down the beach, and making sand sculptures.
We all came back to the house that afternoon a bit sun burned but no one complained.

Kensie on the beach. She insisted on wearing shoes because she didn't know what to think of the sand.









Mike and the kids spent an hour sculpting this shark and turtle on the beach......pretty impressive
