Day 4: Gulfarium and Dinner

NO beach today. After Evan's water escapades, we thought we would give him a break. Mark and I took the kids over to Fort Walton's. There is a lot of fun stuff to do there, but we decided on the Gulfarium. It is basically a large outdoor aquarium right on the beach. It was a really neat place, but Evan wasn't quite old enough to enjoy it. He liked to watch the 'meows' (sea otters) and the dolphins, but he was afraid of the alligators. Evan was precious when he saw the baby alligators. He went up to them and said "aww teeny" and then lifted his shirt up to give them milk.

 

After the Gulfarium, we walked next door to a cute restaurant on the beach. I think it was called Anglers. They had a boat out front that Evan could 'drive,' so he was sold. He spent about 5 minutes driving the boat before we convince him to go inside. We had a great meal on the porch and then headed back to Navarre for nap time.

That night we headed out to a local restaurant and ate dinner with everyone. Evan was in a horrible mood, so he played on the beach while we each took turns watching him. He had cake for dinner that night. (Parent's of the year award??) Not the most enjoyable meal, but at least we all got to eat.
