A Florida Thanksgiving...

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at grandma and grandpa Timmons house in Ft. Walton Beach, FL. After a LONG evening/night of driving we finally arrived to their house around 1:30 in the morning on Wednesday. Even though we woke up very sleep deprived on Wednesday we were ready to take on the beach with Jackson. It was the perfect day for a walk on the beach, 75 degrees and sunny! It was his first time ever stepping foot on the beach. At first he was unsure but ended up really liking it. We just walked around down by the water and let him play with the sand a bit. I cant wait til we can go back one day with him in bathing suits and all so we can build sands castles and play in the water.






Sugar had a wonderful time as well. She got to swim her heart out in the bayou behind grandma and grandpa's backyard. One day she swam for almost an hour straight without taking a break!


Jackson had such a great time exploring and hanging out in grandma and grandpa's backyard...

                                           
                               
                               
                             

                            
And boy did we have the most delicious Thanksgiving feast. Uncle Todd joined us that day...



On Saturday we went out to lunch before the Gator game...


                               
It took him some time to warm up to his great grandma because he has only met her once when he was 5 months old. Look how happy she was when he finally did...

                              

On Sunday morning we went to church with the family before embarking on our long journey home. Let me tell you, Jackson was a little angel. He sat on daddy's lap the entire hour and barely made a peep. He has never done that for us here at church.  And he looked so cute in his Sunday best...

                                     

The week before we left for our trip we were getting a bit worried because Jackson wasnt eating very well. Something about being on vacation gave him the most incredible appetite, or was it just grandma Timmons delicious cooking. He tried all kinds of new foods and hasnt stopped eating since! I think he was just getting bored with all the Stage 3 baby foods. This boy has to be gaining some good weight. He also slept like a champ on vacation. One afernoon he took a 3 hour nap! He really impressed us on this trip.
