The hole got...we called it the manmade Graco play-pen!  He would play in this forever!
Action frisbee shot!







Loved the white sand and clear, blue water!

Enjoying his special treat!

We arrived in Panama City just one day after Tropical Storm Lee landed so it made for an interesting couple of days but we made the best of it and had a blast in the wind, rain and finally awesome sunshine and calm seas! 

The first day we arrived it was raining but not storming so we were able to walk on the beach for a bit and Landon swam in the pool!  It was COLD because of the wind and drop in temperature but he enjoyed himself!

The second day was extremely windy mixed with a little rain!  We lasted in the pool for a short time and tried to eat our lunch under a cabana by the pool...that was a funny site!  We had to hold our food down so it would not blow away!  We all enjoyed a great nap after lunch...realxation is what vacation is all about, right?  We ended the night at a tasty restaurant!

The third day was still a bit windy but a really nice day, however, the ocean was still closed to swimmers due to the rip currents.  We still got to enjoy the entire day in the sand!  Landon helped an older girl build a BIG hole that eventually reached the water, we walked down a long pier and watched fisherman catch sharks, we built a sand castle and were able to get our toes wet in the ocean.  Landon mastered the art of frisbee throwing on this day as well! 

We had to check out on day four, but since it was the BEST day weather wise, we got extended check-out and fully enjoyed swimming in the beautiful, clear ocean water.  Landon used his mask and was able to see lots of fish.  We ended our stay with strawberry smoothies...yum!

We loved our time at Panama City Beach, and Landon has already informed us that we need to take Baby Girl when she comes out of mommy's tummy!
