Destin ~ By the shore

Our first day at the beach! It was quite overcast, but warm enough. Overcast was good for all the fair skinned people in our family.
We make friends everywhere we go!
Gary thought it was too cold/windy to play in the water, so he was all about the sand this time. He watched the camera bag for me.
Daisy is intent on building her seashell collection.
Betsy just likes playing in the soft white sand. It really is different from the other beaches we've been to along the Atlantic.
The flag at the beach was still red (high risk) so no one ventured out too far. There have already been several stories in the local papers about swimmers being rescued (and sadly, recovered) from the water because they were caught in riptides and undertow.
More shells!
They are pros at the poses by now!
And, unposed photos are just as sweet!
