Pensacola Beach 2013

The Lunceford clan started planning early to make a repeat trip back to Pensacola Beach this summer. (We missed out last year but made sure we could go this year). We rented the same house they had last year that is practically on the beach. I think it took me most of the week before to get things ready and to pack. We finished loading up fairly early Saturday and got on the road. 

Our home for the week.

We got there late afternoon/early evening. We actually arrived first so we picked up the key and then unloaded our car while we waited. We grabbed a quick bite to eat that night, made a quick run to Walmart, and then relaxed for a little bit before getting some sleep so we could get to the beach early the next morning. 

That Sunday was Father's Day. We had already "celebrated" at home and with Bailey's dad but we were able to celebrate it with my dad that day. We spent the first part of our mornings everyday on the balcony.

 Her first time at the beach. We didn't take her in the water until a little later in the week but she enjoyed sitting in the sand. The water was BEAUTIFUL! And there were not many people around so we were able to take up as much space as we wanted and really enjoy ourselves. 

Monday morning Sidney was pretty tired and only lasted a few minutes on the beach before she needed a nap. However, that afternoon she was ready to play. Bailey carried her out in the water and she loved it! She didn't mind the waves or splashing at all.

 Tuesday morning we drove over to the Quietwater/"Mom" beach. (It's the inland/bay area so it is calm and fairly shallow). Sidney just floated around.

 That night we attempted some family pictures......

 All throughout the week Sidney provided great entertainment. That particular night we had eaten some homemade peach ice cream and it wired Sidney! She was bouncing around in everyone's lap chit-chatting as much as she possibly could.

 Just another day on the beach.

Her crazy hair! I can't wait until she gets some more hair to see what it's going to do. Between the sunscreen on her head and the humidity, her hair was wild.

 Loving some more time in the water. It was fairly calm this day so Sidney spent nearly an hour in the water. We loved that float. It had a little mesh area where we could lay shells and such so she could play with them. 

 Another attempt at family photos for the Hunt family=success!

 These last two pictures are horrible but I was trying to be inconspicuous. Every morning this lady would come by. She walked the first lap with the dalmation and a little dog. Then she jogged a second lap with only the dalmation. 

It was a GREAT week. Truly a vacation because we did little to nothing (except play on the beach and EAT).
