Just Peachy At Orange Beachy!

July 31, 2008 --AAhhhh, the sweet smell of the salty Gulf and sand! For the past two years we have been going to Orange Beach, Alabama for Brian's Birthday and our neighbors, The Landry's, come with us.















Well, last year....Saylor didn't REALLY get into the water because of SHARKS....but this year, she did manage to get back into the water, just a little bit more BUT only because Alyssa was doing it! She really looks up to Alyssa and IS Alyssa's shadow.



















However, this year brought a NEW CHALLENGE - Chandler didn't want to get into the water and didn't want to EVEN get CLOSE to the water....I don't know if it was the sound of the water crashing against the shore OR if he heard someone talk about SHARKS being in the water. So, Chandler MAINLY stayed on the beach playing in the sand. He was KING OF THE BEACH.














We buried the kids in the sand......



















We went crabbing at night......














We wrote our names in the sand......














We played in the Gulf......



















We played in the Pool......














We made frozen drinks on the beach..... (Brian brought his portable weed-eater blender)



















LSU marks OUR SPOT!!!.........














Alyssa spotted this BEAUTIFUL SIGHT on a neighboring balcony....and NO, its NOT BRIAN......although it IS something he WOULD do... PURDY!














This is a COOL picture I took....can u spot the CRAB?!?!?!














We had a GREAT TIME! The weather was perfect! We even had a chance to go out one night to Adventureland and play miniature golf, ride go-carts, and play arcade games! The kids had a ball! Gosh, I can't WAIT to go to Destin in two weeks! Isn't life just BEACHY???
