Part 2 of our family of vacation to Port St. Joe, Florida starts with or favorite hole in the wall restaurant called Indian Pass Raw Bar. Its just a couple miles down the road from our house in Port St. Joe to an area called Indian Pass. We love it because its on a honor system. They have a wall full of different drinks and you get your own drinks and write it down and at the end of your meal you take your paper to the cashier and she rings you up! Such a neat atmosphere.
I couldn't decide if I wanted stuff shrimp or crab legs, so I had both! Ryan has oysters and the boys had corn dogs!
They had live music and the boys loved dancing to it!
These boys love the beach and love playing in the sand and making sandcastles with Nana!

Maggie and I decided that we wanted to try paddle boarding. So on our way home from one of our many trips to the Pig we stopped by a place and rented one. We weren't sure if we would make it back to the house with it because it stuck out of the truck so far but we made it!
Im not going to say it was easy because it took a lot of core strength to stay up and not fall.
Poppa put Liam on with Maggie and I and we took him around and let him look at all the fish and sting rays we came across.
Poor Ryan tried his hardest to get up on the paddle board. He made it up for a couple seconds but not long enough to get anywhere.

Dad trying to show out. He made it up but Maggie thought she was going to help him get steady but instead helped him loose his balance. The water was shallow so when he fell he reached back to catch himself and hurt his wrist. The next morning it was pretty swollen and we all knew something was wrong!
When we got back home from Florida he decided to go and have it checked out. Needless to say he broke his Radial bone and has a nice cast for the next 6 weeks at least.
Port St. Joe sunsets are beautiful!
Uncle Mark got attacked by Spiderman aka Liam ;)
Poppa trying to get the boys to watch Pocoyo without touching the iPad. The struggle is real!
Our nights were spent doing a lot of nothing but laying around and relaxing!
Mom making everyone Milk drinks!
Nana tickling Liam
We took both of our pack n play's. We intended on keeping one at the beach but it was so easy to just take the kids back to the house for lunch and naps that we just put both of them in our room. They aren't used to sleeping together anyways so it was nice to keep them separate.
Liam thinking he is doing a scratch off. He also thought he won :)
Helping (dumping all of Aunt Maggie's water out) Aunt Maggie build a sandcastle.
Hudson just wanted to relax in the beach chair.
Our house we rented. 5 Bedroom 5.5 Bathroom with a pool and hot tub. Perfect for our whole combined family!

I wish that this little pool of water had been there the whole week. They little boys loved running through the water.
It amazes me every time I see these shell/muscle things. They come in large groups and when you dig down in the sand where the tide is they come up and then dig right back down in the sand. The majority of the shells found on the beach are these shells.

Our coolers!
Our last night eating out!
Mom ate all you can eat crab legs. Those were some of the best crab legs we had all week. As you can see the crabs pretty much got the best of her but she kept eating!
Pictures of everyone at the beach on our last night there!
Everyone said I couldn't get a picture of all the little ones looking and I did!!!!!
Grandy and the grandkids!
The last walk all together :(
The tropical storm getting ready to come in
Starting our way back home and they needed a snack! Love those single pack applesauce's!
My dad realized on the way down that we had a headlight missing so before we left Port St. Joe we stopped at a part store and picked up a new light bulb. On one of our stops to change the boys and let them out, the guys changed it before it got dark.
They may drive each other crazy but Liam sure does love his little brothers!
I feel like the week went by too fast and I wasn't ready to leave. I tried to make it as relaxing as you possibly can with 3 kids but we all had a great time! As the boys get older we will find places that are more touristy so that they have more to do. I love Port St. Joe and the atmosphere it has and that house was perfect for us all. I can't wait till next year! We are hopefully planning 2 vacations next year. Maybe one of those will be childless :)
