Toes in the Water

Matthew just returned from a week-long vacation in Destin, Florida. It was his first trip to the Gulf Coast. Last year Matthew loved the beach, but this year he was hesitant at first.

The crashing waves and cool saltwater were not initially as alluring as expected. The sand was deep and difficult to walk on. But after a while, he really got the hang of it and liked the waves and the sand.

He enjoyed playing with all his beach toys and he even made a few new friends with some of the other kids on the beach.

 The vacation wasn't restricted to the beach, there was also a trip to Big Kahuna water park where Matthew enjoyed splashing, sliding, and relaxing on the lazy river. He also enjoyed seeing all the fish in Destin (even the fake ones).

Thursday evening Matthew went on a Dolphin Cruise.

He got to see Dolphins and they even let him steer the boat.

A Great Vacation!
