I’ve been talking about our time in Siesta Key and I even wrote about a run in with a snake that I could have done without. One day we ventured out to see Toy Story 3 (adorable!) and we tried out a few restaurants but other than that we didn’t do much. We spent a lot of time in the sun where we read and talked and slept and thought. It was lovely. The girls loved the pool but they took a little time to warm up to the beach (especially Ellie who is fussy about the sand). But soon we were building sand castles and hunting for sea shells.
We spent a lot of time in the water riding the waves. One day the Gulf was so calm it looked like glass. Gorgeous. But a few of the days the waves were rough and the strong undertow made me nervous. We still really enjoyed the water, just a little closer to the shore:

On our last morning in Siesta Key we walked the beach and found this little guy:

And here’s a few more favorites taken on the beach:

Up next: We went to the deep south where we enjoyed a family reunion. Can’t wait to tell you about it!
