Florida Family Time - the beach

The family went on a trip to Florida to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday! We spent a day at the beach in Clearwater, where we got to see sharks, turtles, stingrays and dolphins at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and the boys got to splash in the surf. Alan wanted to play with the sand as soon as he stepped on the beach, but took a little coaxing to play in the water. Kevin was happy to romp into the surf right away! Daddy even flew a kite for the boys. Before we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's, we went to the playground at Pier 60.
