Yesterday, we left home at 6:30am, drove 11 hours, and got to Gulf Shores, AL about 7:30pm. This is the longest we have ever driven on a trip! We weren't sure how well it would go...it went great! La and Hud were amazing troopers! We only stopped twice!We met Rob's parents, sister and her two girls there for a week in a beach condo.
As soon as we unloaded the car, we grabbed our buckets, nets and flashlights and ran out to the beach! We couldn't wait!
We hunted for crabs...but didn't find ANY! (Two years ago when we we were there, we found so many! We wondered if the oil spill had effected them or something.) We didn't really care though...just walking around in the water with flashlights was just as much fun!
We awoke this morning to this sight...sigh. So relaxing!
The kids played a game of Sorry in their PJ's after breakfast. This is La and Hud's new addiction. They LOVE Sorry! And they totally understand the game and all the strategies! I'm glad...it's so much more fun than Candyland!
Lawson and Morgan (cousin) were SO excited to sport their matching swimsuits!

Lawson and Morgan (cousin) were SO excited to sport their matching swimsuits!It was funny watching people stare at them and wonder if they were twins. Everyone was doing a double take! I kinda had fun pretending I was the mom of twins!
The water was really clear and there were little fishies everywhere. The kids had fun catching them with nets.
Then time to play with their fishing poles. (just a little weight on the end..no hook) They just love to cast it in the water and reel it in.
And a little boogie boarding...minus the waves! The water was pretty calm today.More like just floating!
Day 1 was fun!
