WAVE!

Red flag day at the beach ~ tropical storm and/or hurricane coming at us

The waves have been hard and fast, huge and relentless all day

The ocean is in turmoil and fascinating to watch ~ I took way too many pictures of the crashing waves today but I couldn’t help it

Things were calmer at the pool where Knox loves to hang out

Knox discovered the joy of the pool noodle ~ he had a great time floating around

We sat on the beach all afternoon and read and watched the crazy waves

I’m amazed these little stick-legged shore birds didn’t get washed out to sea

It was very warm today and we did enjoy plenty of blue sky but fierce wind ~ this is the only sunset picture I managed to take after the sky had already turned dark so it’s a bit blurry

We walked down to the Back Porch this evening and had dessert ~ Key Lime Pie for me and Kelly, cheesecake for Neil, and Kerry got this huge piece of orange cake with white chocolate frosting ~ tasted like sunshine on a plate ~ yum! The Kimbroughs climbed up in the big Adirondack chair outside the restaurant and posed for a family snapshot.

Neil and I got in the big chair, too [thanks for the picture, Kelly!]
My sweet niece Julia Foy is Sweet Sixteen today! We got to Face Time with her and wish her a long distance Happy Birthday which was great fun. Happy 16th, Julia!! We love you!!

The sea is very angry! Love those waves! I remember when Julia & Sarah were little, they liked being at the pool more than the beach. Fun times! Great pics! If we ever get back to Destin, I'd love to go to The Back Porch! Did Holly & her bunch get there safely?
