Sandy Beaches and an evening with the Pirates!!!



Today was another BEAUTIFUL day in Panama City. On the advice of a friend, we decided to check out the St. Andrews State Park... Wow! and we thought we had found a good spot!!! There is a great area called Jetty Beach where the kids and their cautious (ie. paranoid)families can swim and play without all the crashing waves... however we did "encounter" manta rays and hermit crabs...
Grant even got to put on his swim suit today and check out the water... even if only with his cute little toes... Tell me that is not a good looking baby boy!!!


Grady's 2 favorite chants are "Beach, Beach, Beach, Beach" and "Nak, Nak"... well today he again had both at the same time... today on the menu was a fan favorite... sandy flavored Doritos...



After a wonderful time at the beach and a good nap for Grady and Todd, it was back to the beach to see the Panama City Pirates take on the Atlanta Silverbacks... the Silverbacks were a bunch of whiny babies... Grant was better behaved than they were... but in the end we lost 0 to 1... Basically we SUCKED!!!! Yet, the real highlight is the mascot... check him out... He could really give Johnny Depp a run for his money... okay we maybe not... but always remember... DEAD MEN SCORE NO GOALS!!!



Grady is always so excited to see the "Pirate..." So, mommy hunted down Capt. Jack for a meeting of the pirate court... however while Grady was thrilled to see him and kept saying "pirate, pirate, pirate," he would not go anywhere near him... Never fear... Todd Jr. stepped on deck and had his picture taken with good ol' Capt Jack!!! Yo ho, Yo ho a Pirates life for me...
