The Calm Before the Storm

Last weekend we were in Destin...about 4 days before Hurricane Michael hit. Destin was spared but not 40 miles east, there was total devastation. On Monday when we left we saw all of the boats being pulled out of the water and secured on land.  It was a little eerie...folks seemed to really know what was coming. For the long weekend that we were there though, the weather, the water and the company were perfect.

Heading out to Crab Island

Matt even got in on the action...and was sore for days after

Early morning fishing 

Vivian fishes like she does everything else in life...with gusto!

She finally got a puffer!

And Bean fishes quietly and calmly...just as he does everything else

This boy of mine...

We sure could get used to October days at the beach...
