East Coast Trip - Part I - FLORIDA!!

My sister-in-law Brandi, invited our family to join them on the beautiful white sandy beaches of Panama City Beach, Florida for a week and Brock and I had to go! Unfortunately by the time we looked at airfare prices for Brent (coupled with timing at work), it just wouldn't work, so Brent opted to stay home and keep the dogs company. 

Reagan was there for a softball tournament, so my in-laws were wise to make this a family vacation by renting a beach house! What a location! It was nice to be so close to the water because it was hot!

We managed to get in one softball game and Brock watched it from the comfort of Aunt Brandi's red collapsible wagon and enjoying the shade of a tent. The team did really well - winning that game 5 to 2, if I remember correctly.

Some of Reagan's games were not exactly close to the house, but we managed to keep ourselves occupied with other activities (besides sitting all day in that hot sun!) while they were gone. Blaine, Brock and I explored Dave & Buster's indoor arcade - and their fabulous air conditioning.

Brock was not quite understanding how these games worked and tried several times to put the tickets back in to the machine.

The beach house hosted a luau party for the softball team one night and Brock was very excited about it....

 
Maybe more excited about playing with all the beach balls!

Brock and I thoroughly enjoyed the sun and water. The sand was a different story....

It took a little time for Brock to get used to the stuff sticking to his hands and feet (he definitely did not like that part), but he really liked the water and watching as Blaine and I ran after whichever toy he threw in to the wave taking it out to sea! 

The beach house had a few beach toys that were perfect for Brock!

Most importantly, we were there to spend time with the family and it really was such a nice trip to be all together in the house.

I know that Grandpa and Gammy loved watching Brock for the week and saw so much of their own son in Brock's mannerisms. We had so much fun and really enjoyed our visit - thank you so much for inviting us! Looking forward to seeing you again in September and seeing some fun things in Nashville with Toddler Brock!
