New Years in Lakeland, part 3

We may not have indulged in any amusement parks this trip, but we did make a trip to Clearwater Beach on what started out as a beautiful sunny 70 degree day.

Eli loves the water and is at a perfect age to enjoy playing in the sand.

While the day stayed relatively warm, the craziest mist rolled in around mid-morning. It was like being enveloped in a cloud. Which is kind of cool, I suppose, if you aren't trying to soak up the rays on the beach! Keep in mind that this picture is NOT in black and white!

 

The misty conditions didn't deter Eli from enjoying the water, although he enjoyed pushing his Daddy into the waves first.

And Eli always loves playing with his Pappy... I think the feeling is mutual!

 

A fantastic day!
