We had a wonderful time in Florida...although the trip had a rocky start: After rising at 4 a.m. and gliding smoothly through airport shuttles, check-in, security, breakfast, and boarding...our luck runs out. Our plane has a gash in the front tire, soon Rachel has a gash in her forehead that perfectly matches Ben's two front teeth, we miss our Chicago connection, and the early morning catches up with Jonah culminating in a shattered glass on tile in an airport restaurant. But we did eventually arrive in Pensacola, only 6 hours behind schedule!
Day 1 and 2: Rain...lots of rain! What does one do when it rains in Pensacola? Splash in the puddles and visit the Naval Air Museum.

Day 3 we finally headed to the beach. No more rain, but yes, the boys are wearing their winter hats!
Day 4 - 6: BEACH DAYS!
Jonah loved the beach. He ran up and down the shoreline, soaked within minutes. He dug hole upon hole, and collected plenty of shells.
The morning dance-off!
Our ever-reserved Benjamin was not so quick to show enthusiasm. He wasn't sure about the sand on his feet, the water on his toes, or really enjoying any part of the beach. He could be found sitting in a chair or on his dad's shoulders the first day at the beach.
Fortunately, by the next day he had warmed up to it! :-)
Marcus! The boys LOVED being around their cousin Marcus for the week (as did the rest of the family!) Ben still asks for him when he wakes up from his nap.
The morning dance-off!
