Who's your Gnome?

At the moment, Austin is on a "Gnomeo and Juliet" kick.  We watch it EVERY DAY.  He was pretty excited when he found a gnome fountain. 

Pirate Par-tay

...cause they always have their picture taken with pirate statues!

What Mom?

Soaking up the Rays

Cruisin' the waves

Hanging out with the Grey Wolf

 The zoo in Panama City Beach is a little smaller than the Houston zoo.  And they let you do some questionable things--like pet the wolf!

Al E. Gator

Surprise!

We told Austin we had a BIG surprise for him.  We drove up to the airport and Joanie climbs in the car.  He looks at us and says, "well....can I at least have some chocolate as another surprise?" 

It was the biggest disappointment surprise ever!!!

Chillin'

Mellow Mushroom

We loved this restaurant--even though I think it's name sounds like a head shop.  It makes fresh pizzas with organic ingredients.  It is DELICIOUS!

More than Meets the Eye

This is at a restaurant in Panama City Beach, Florida.  We had to go back to the restaurant a second time so that Austin could spend some more time inspecting this 'robot.'

They Have a Phone Here!

This is not a great picture, but Austin was so excited because they had a phone with a cord at the restaurant. It's the little things that count.

Hotter than the A-list

Cruising around Shell Island...looking for sand dollars...

Christmas Store

I never even considered that a Christmas store would appeal to little kids, but it is wonderful! It's decorated like Christmas, and it has Santas everywhere! Pure bliss.

Starfish

We found this starfish in the gulf...about waist deep. I had big plans for him (including some bleach), but he crumbled after he dried out. :(
Austin named him Twinkle.
