Cocoa Beach

Cocoa Beach!!!

This was the perfect way to end a Disney World Vacation!

The kids loved the beach and the waves;

Brandon and I loved relaxing with the family!

We ate a Coconuts on the Beach;

the shrimp was awesome . . . Sarah loves shrimp and I found out the next day that Caleb loves Mahi-mahi!

This is how we enjoyed spending time at the beach:

(above is one of my favorite pictures of the whole trip)

The kids wanted to "surf" like Daddy & Uncle Jason, so

Brandon took them out and let them ride on some small waves.

They loved it!  They were naturals!!

They also enjoyed sitting on the boards waiting for the waves to crash into them.

This activity made me a little nervous because they were laughing so hard they could barely stand back up after getting knocked over!

My surfers. . .

Love this family. . .

Sarah's perfect sand castle; she made this one all by herself!

We took a quick shopping trip at Ron Jon's;

the kids were practicing their "real surfing."

We also spent some time at Jetty Park and saw a lot of sea turtles.

After a few attempts, Brandon got the perfect picture!

Enjoying the pier, talking to the fishermen, looking for sea turtles and

enjoying the sun!

Overall this was one of the best favmily vacations!

The kids loved Disney, meeting the characters, the beach, the waves . . .

but most importantly we loved having our family with us.

This is a wonderful memory we can all share for many years to come!

always
