Gulf Shores


We went with our friends Suzie and Nathan and their girls to Gulf Shores, Alabama last week for our family summer trip. Needless to say, we had a blast! I am including the best pictures, but be warned...there are many!

The first 2 days there, it rained-not too bad the first day, but on Tues-it was a downpour! So, we drove to Pensacola and went to the Naval Air Museum there. It was really neat, and the boys had a blast! I also have a little bit more history knowledge now than before I left. LOL




We went on a dolphin cruise (which is really just a boat ride out to see some dolphins jump around). We loved it! Had tons of fun! We did this same ride 3 years ago, and it is absolutely worth every penny! Ofcourse, after we did the cruise, we could see dolphins jumping around in front of our spot on the beach! Both Jason and Suzie were making comments about how we could have saved $50! (They are a lot alike!) Whatever-we loved every bit of the experience!





I love how well the kids played together, I miss being able to say "go downstairs and play in the sand-we'll see you in a little bit"!




If you are wondering about the circling birds, this is what happens when you throw out goldfish crackers around a resting Amber on the beach! Hmmmm...Nathan thought he was funny!



And of course, we had to take the obligatory "Family Beach Pics"!






There's so much more, like the boys boogie boarding, and hermit crabs, but I will have to add those another time...this is way too many photos to expect anyone to look at in one sitting!

Galveston All The Way

We were so excited to get away to the beach! We had one slight sunburn experience that cost us one day of not going to the beach. But we got to spend the day at Moody Gardens Rain Forest and Aquarium. PS The spray sunscreen that says "No Rub" go ahead and rub it in anyway. The Vaughans got to meet us in Kehma on Tues night and hang out on the beach for a little bit on Wed. It was definitely a fun getaway, but I am glad to be home-especially after spending 4 days with 2 kids in one hotel room. What an experience! In a few weeks we will be camping at Turner Falls-I can't wait! Seriously!
