Wednesday dawned and with it came clear skies and Alabama heat hot enough to rival a Houston summer. Luckily we were never more than twenty feet from the ocean, so we had ample opportunity to cool down.
Some of us were even feeling spry enough to play football.
Emmy convinced some minions to build a sand fortress with her.
I finally gave in to JT's pleas and took him on a night walk along the beach. It was amazing and I wish I had done it every night. We even found some sand castle to take photos with in the dark.
Thursday morning while everyone else was getting ready to go shopping, Emmy and I made a quick trip down to the water. It was so peaceful and refreshing to get down there before anyone else was awake.
Isn't here little swimming suit just adorable? We have a pleathora of swimming suits size 3T at our house right now. When you have a pool party, people buy you swim suits for your birthday. The good part is that she didn't have to rewear a suit the whole beach trip.
After our shopping exploits and a quick trip to Florida, we spent the late evening relaxing by the water until it got dark.
Friday was our last full day at the beach, and our group did me proud and showed up.
After a little coaxing, we even got Papa to trust us enough to help him out into the water. The waves were a little rough, but he said he enjoyed it.
We were taking MoMo B out for dinner since her birthday was the next day, so we left a little early to go by the outlet mall. Someone wasn't too excited by all the sales.
A few of the books that I read while loafing on the shore. Don't judge too harshly. I only took romance novels and fluff because it's vacation trick.
Our trip home Saturday isn't technically "the beach," but it doesn't warrant its own post so here it is. The quick was mercifully shorter than the trip there even though we did get stuck in heavy traffic on 59 all the way to the other side of the Mobile tunnel. Apparantly people have never been a tunnel before and feel the need to crawl through and honk their horns and stuff. We can't handle that novice stuff.
Emmy got a new hat, I read a Pride and Prejudice rewrite, and GiGi did a word search on her tablet. We are an exciting crew!
