Another Day in Paradise

Somewhere off the coast of Venus Beach.
It's been a long time since we've visited the Gulf.
We prefer the Atlantic because of the waves and the "Secluded" spots we find,
but we decided we'd try it and see what we could find.

What do you do when you cannot find a "Secluded" spot?
Take a boat and find your own island.

Our amazing captain.

I don't think any rays are gonna penetrate through the inch thick sunscreen!!

The Gulf water is usually like bath water in the summer,
it's like ice water in March.
(But it's refreshing once your limbs are numb :)


We're not used to seeing so many shells on the beach.
It was fun.
~Sweet Friends~

Time to come in and have a picnic
while thawing out. ;)

Just chilling.
(Literally)
In a beautiful place,
with beautiful people,
enjoying God's amazing creation=Paradise

Time for something fast and furious.

I love this boy!!
(Notice the life jacket? See, we do put safety first. (Sometimes))

The "Three Floaty Thingy Pile-up"

You just have to make sure you're aware of your surroundings
and that the boat doesn't leave you floating out there too long.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Psalm 19:1

Paradise for SURE! That was great even though it was a little chilly in the water. It was far worth it and we'd do it again in a heartbeat if y'all were going too! Thankfully none of us lost a leg to those swimming creatures! ;) The water was a beautiful green color and all those pretty shells on shore, that was neat!
What an amazing week!Thanks!
