As it turns out I only took like 10 pictures our first day of vacation so I decided I needed to combine Day 1 and Day 2 for this post. I know I wouldn't believe it either unless I saw it with my own two eyes. Believe it or not I was trying not to be super annoying with my camera this vacation, I think I was fairly successful (for me anyway). I came home with less than 300 pictures total. Which I know seems like a ton of pictures to the average bear, but you're talking about a girl that can drop 175 pictures in two hours at The Magic House like it's nothing. I digress. Don't blink or you will miss Day 1, but Day 2 was pretty exciting!
We staged a treasure hunt for the kiddos at the beach on Day 2. We had gotten some jewels and pirate coins and buried them in the sand and they dug their little hearts out to find them. It was definitely a hit with the kids, well and the adults who am I kidding?
We finished off Day 2 with our first night of crab hunting. I had REALLY hyped this event up to everyone. We had done it last year in Alabama with Chad's family and I was so excited to share the experience with this crew too. Our adventure started out REALLY slow and I was getting really nervous there were no crab to be had in Destin. Then ALAS crabs, crabs everywhere. I heard the squealing children (and parents) and all was well with the world. Oh the joy those creepy little crabs can bring. I know these pictures might seem silly to you, because you can barely see anything. But this is EXACTLY what it looks like when it gets dark on the beach. Looking up and down the beach all you can see is a bunch of moving flashlights...and it's awesome.
