For those who have met the little guy, you know one of his favorite things about summer is watermelon. He can eat his weight in the delicious summer fruit and will give you a good 2-foot stomp if you take it away before he’s eaten most of the rind


 


mmm…








He spent most of his day playing in the sand or the water’s edge – and yes, the sand/plant/etc mixture is what we call a beach in our part of the Gulf – Bolivar Peninsula





He didn’t quite understand that if you launch the sand up and into the wind, something odd is gonna happen:








Shortly after the above shots he picked up his bucket of Crystal Beach sand and dumped it on his head. Luckily, he still responds to instruction from his dad and with a little coaching the sand was going where he wanted it. Afterwards he rinsed a little in the Gulf of Mexico waves.





David finished the day with a few slices of pizza at Mama Teresa’s and slept all the way home, dreaming of sand and watermelon.
