This summer is flying by and we have been so busy, I've really lost track of time. It has been quite a few days since my last posting but, I'm back on it now! We headed down to Florida for a few days of sun. If you can believe this, Florida was 10 degrees cooler than Ohio the week we were gone. It was nice to cool off and enjoy the ocean breeze! We also took in a few beautiful sunsets.
As always, as soon as we get to our hotel, we run to the beach just to feel the sand. This girl loves, loves, loves the ocean and the beach!
The water was extremely warm. It felt like were were going into a hot tub!
The water was so clear we saw reef sharks, eels, stingrays and a lots of fish. In fact, one day the hotel encouraged us not to go in the ocean due to the influx of these creatures. Supposedly there was an excess of algae which causes a lack of oxygen in the water for the fish so they head towards the shoreline to get oxygen. Interesting!!!
Hanging with the teenagers.
Lots of turtles were laying eggs in the sand. They are very protected and always marked off with yellow tape. This one was not laying eggs but, just having a little green snack! We are back home enjoying our last month of summer.

Your pictures from Florida are beautiful. It looks like a lot of fun! One of the things on my bucket list is to help the baby turtles back to the sea when they hatch. There is an area near Grace's Nana and Ba that the sea turtles come each year to nest. So maybe one summer soon we can do this!
