Beach deer

 This is the name we gave to these deer out on the St. Joseph Peninsula.
 It really feels as if you have driven to the edge of the earth here.
 There are no restaurants within 30 miles.  Although there is a snack bar at one of the fishing docks.  It also sells bait and other fine foods if that helps you imagine what is for sale there.
 When walking around this beautiful campground we spotted a tent just like ours in the trashcan!!  Great.
 The beach here is different that Grayton beach.  Sand was still beautiful although there was alot of seaweed.  Water was still clear but there were many, many more shells.  And the beach got deep fast.
 Possibly our Christmas card photo for 2012.  Jackson has a red eye from itching and I have frizzy beach hair but this is what we look like when we camp.
 When we lived in Florida, locals would tell us that it is fun to fly over the beach and look down.  Not only for the beautiful scenery, but also for the black dots in the water.   The black dots are sharks!  And they are incredibly close to people!  Also....Bammy...you were flying in this plane.

This is the rest of Friday, July 13, 2012, Day 3 when we drove from Santa Rosa Beach to the St. Joseph Peninsula in Florida.

I'm amazed the deer can find anything to eat.

Never ever EVER have I seen a bad family photo at the beach -- esp. with all white shirts and Mom's head on Dad's shoulder! -- always looks good. (Too bad I don't like beaches that much; could be my one chance for a good family photo!) (Just kidding -- mostly.)
