Hale Family Reunion Day 3 part 3

Having said our farewells to the extended family, and despite the downpour, we decided we needed to try to get our whole family out to the beach again.
(Plus, I really needed to get some cutesy
pictures of Brooke on the beach.)
 

So, we headed back to the hotel, changed into our swim wear, loaded the kids and headed to Pensacola Beach.

And an amazing thing happened.

The skies acquiesced and parted just enough
for the sun to come blazing to life.

I got my cutesy pictures.

(Even if Brooke was being blinded the entire time)

The surf was very, very rough and the life guard wouldn't allow anyone in past their knees, but we made the very best of it!
We got battered around, covered in seaweed
and still walked away with big smiles and lasting memories.
