Clearwater Beach, Florida

While Rich's Uncle Vince + Family were here visiting, we decided to go back to Clearwater Beach. My favorite beach, hands down! The sand is fine in texture, white in color, and soft to walk and lie down on. It is a family-friendly beach. With a playground, jump house area, volleyball nets and Pier 60 close by, you will find lots of activities to keep your little people active. 
My kiddos love the water. The Gulf is much more calm than the East Coast beaches. So, Chase will adventure in the ocean a bit more than usual. The water is clear and doesn't look murky when the current rolls. Just.One.More reason to love this place. 

A few pictures to sum up our trip:

She didn't come close to the ocean with this boogie board. Just pulled it along the sand. 
The seagulls are wild here. And that sentence was me stating it politely. You cannot eat without them snatching the food from your space, hand, or mouth! Yes, I said, "mouth"!!!! Oh my gosh, they're insane birds. During our lunch, one person was the designated bird "shoo-er". (I made that up). Chase gets a kick out of them and their antics to take your food.

There's a diva on the beach!
The girl loves the sand!
We take a bar of soap or bottle of body wash to the beach each trip to use at the showers before we leave. This particular trip, we forgot the soap! She was a sand-covered mess, so is Daddy's Tahoe now. 
My boy around 6:00pm. Six hours of fun in the sun! His little friend just left the beach, so he had time for the camera.
Enjoying a quick junk food snack.
Getting every towel we brought dirty...Mommy was not a fan! I would rather use our picnic blanket and dry off with the clean towels. Oh well. Just another parenting learning curve.
