Enjoying the Biloxi Beach

(I know this post is a little bit out of order, but that is what happens when you have pregnancy brain!)

September 7, 2014

We decided to take advantage of a beautiful fall day and check out the local beach.  It was my first time down there.  The beaches here are beautiful and we enjoy looking for hermit crabs.

This one was brave enough to peek out at us.

There are lots of birds a long the beach.

Eliza likes to scare them and watch them fly.

Dad, Nathan, Daniel and Bradley digging in the sand.

Nathan needed constant supervision to keep him out of the water!

The beaches are shallow here with a lot of sand bars.

We found several jelly fish up along the shore.

The gang checking one out.

One of our favorite things along the coast are the wood carvings.

A local artist carved them into trees that died during hurricane Katrina.  

He wanted to give something back to the community and add some beauty to the devastated coastline.

These are the ones that were close us on the beach.

This tree was officially declared dead, so the artist was allowed to carve it.

As you can see it has started growing again.

I love how symbolic the new growth is.
