Across the gulf

Our girls are growing up, but not apart.

Two of our three girls are crossing the gulf from childhood to womanhood. My Sydney turned 13 in December and my niece, Addy, will turn 13 in September. So glad they are all still such close friends with my younger niece, Amelia, who is six. She says they are all sisters, not a pair of sisters and a cousin.

From today's trip to Langdon Beach, west of Pensacola Beach at Gulf Island National Seashore.
