Florida's East Coast for a day

08.17.2010

We next traveled across the state of Florida to the East coast, to Grandma Pinnie's house. We stayed here just one full day and night and then took Grandma Pinnie with us up to Georgia.


Playing with a stash of toys Grandma had.


Bella preferred playing with the empty water bottles.


Grandma watched Sophia play with bouncy balls used to play Jacks, does anyone still play Jacks?


Exploring the back yard that is on a canal that leads into the intracoastal waterway. The mosquitoes ran us back inside pretty quick.


After naps we decided to go surfing. Granddaddy Johnson waxes his board, Sophia got to help a little bit.


She just loved letting the waves chase her. Bella meanwhile was up at the picnic table with Grandma Pinnie.


David wanted to try his hand at surfing. He has surfed before, but Granddaddy gave him a small refresher on the physics of it all and off they went. (Granddaddy has been surfing these waves since he was little).


Granddaddy went first.


There he is, my almost sixty-year-old dad, catching a wave.


Sophia was excited and cheered them on


Daddy gives it a go


storm clouds rolling in


wow, good job honey!


The storm clouds rolled in along with some lightening so we packed it it, and of course it never rained!

We had a short but incredibly sweet visit. Thanks dad for staying up late and talking about growing up, God, and rock-n-roll, among other things!
