Camping


We camped on the Intercostal side of Johnson Beach this weekend and woke up to a foggy morning.

Quick game of sand hop scotch.

Climbing sand dunes.

Dale and the kids with Pensacola Pass behind them....where the Intercoastal Waterway meets the Gulf of Mexico.

One of Nick's many stops to look at a shell.

Amelia's clams.

Nolan forging the way.

Dale and the kids on our boat trip to Pensacola Pass.

Small sand pools provide lots of lasting entertainment.

Here is our camp during the day. The weather was perfect. Sunny and 80 during the day and 60 at night. It was pretty fun getting to spend a whole weekend without shoes.

Beach Buddies

This is a picture of us with our good friends from Johnson Beach. Francis and Ruth are pictured with their grandchildren, Jennifer and Josh. We first met Ruth and Francis last fall when we ate dinners often at the beach. They live in Arkansas and volunteer about twice a year at national parks, so they get to stay in their RV at the beach for the months they volunteer. We have had lots of fun visiting with them each time we made it over to JB, and we HOPE we will get to see them again soon! We've loved getting to see them living at the beach and hope someday we will be in their shoes.
