Halloween in St. Pete!

Mom, Dad, Isaac, and I spent Halloween and the following week in Florida, attempting to see Discovery launch with our friend Steve Lindsey as commander.  We didn't see the launch; no one did, but we had a fabulous vacation.  Our first Florida stop was Ft. DeSoto Park for a beach day.  Here's how we dressed up for Halloween!  :)

Love that white, soft sand!
We explored the old fort from the Spanish-American War after we ate lunch.

Exploring on the sandbar.

A real, living sand dollar!  We found dozens!  It was so much fun watching them breathe before we put them back in the water.  We only kept the dead ones.

Do you see the dolphin fin?  We had several swim so close to us and play with their flippers and tails!

More dolphin play time!


All in all, it was an absolutely beautiful day, and my ideal way to spend Halloween.  We found so many gorgeous seashells as we searched the sandbar, not to mention a few living conchs, welchs, crabs, and hermit crabs.  The highlight was the dolphin family that decided to play with us!  Thank you Jesus for allowing me to have church singing hymns on that sandbar!
