Ft. Myers Beach

My brother's girlfriend recommended that we go to the Ft. Myers beach one day and I'm SUPER glad that we did! The sand was so white, find and beautiful.

Drew played in the sand, kicked around shells, watched the birdies and waded with everyone in the family.

We had lunch on the beach and even got my dad to put a floater of rum in his tea! The banana cream drinks and greasy food was DE-LISH and the weather couldn't have been better. It was quite a fun day in my book.

Also, by having Drew take a nap at the beach we were able to spend a lot longer there and get in some t-shirt shopping (as well as more drinks!).

I snapped this picture of my little beach bum wrapped up on towels under the umbrella my parents rented. He was wiped out from playing in the sand with grandma and walking around in the sand and really didn't take but a few minutes to pass out. Although I wish he would have slept for a few hours, his 1.5 hour nap was enough to re-energize him for the afternoon!

And if you're at the beach, you have to do a wave runner right? Derek, Summer, Mike, my father and I all took rides and none of us fell off! (I have a serious fear of sharks and KNOW there were some below us). Fortunately the waters weren't terribly choppy, yet we were able to get air a couple times!

We ended the wonderful day enjoying a cake that my brother and I surprised my mom and dad with for their 40th anniversary!
