Little Fish!

Lee and I really enjoy the beach, but the kids all agree that their favorite part of the vacation was the time spent at the pool. Here are the little fish!

Harrison's had swimming lessons, but liked being to follow his sisters all over the pool in his cool shark life jacket!

It was nearly 100 degrees outside, but they were dying to get in the hot tub.

Here's a view of the pool from our balcony. So nice!

Goodness, I'm ready for another vacation! :)

Crab Hunt

We took the kids to search for crabs one night. Lee got the flashlight out and the search was on...they LOVED it!

Here are two of the crabs they caught.

One gave Lee a pretty good pinch and the kids thought it was hilarious. The crabs move super fast and the kids just giggle and cackle while they watch Lee go after them...such fun! The crabs spent one night with us and then we released them back into the ocean the next morning!

A Day at the Beach

The beach was beautiful and we all had a blast! We played in the ocean, made sand castles and searched for shells.

Harrison's First Trip to the Beach

All of the girls had been to the beach before so they were all pros, but this was a brand new experience for Harrison. He loved every minute of it! It was fun watching him experience the beach for the first time.

The shark!

and playing in the waves.

Such fun for Harrison!

A Great Vacation!

We were a little nervous about taking off on a trip to Orange Beach after watching all the media coverage on the oil spill. Thankfully I visited some local websites and blogs that assured me that the beach was fine and that we wouldn't be wasting our time and money by traveling down. The local folks were right....the beach was fabulous and we had a super vacation!

We stayed at Regency Isle this year and thought it was great! My Aunt Karen knows the people who own Regency Isle 607 and recommended it to me. Thanks Karen, it was my favorite condo yet! If anyone is interested in a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath condo in Orange Beach I'd definitely suggest staying here. The condo is beautifully decorated, has great pools and is right on the beach.

We started the vacay off right with a trip to Lulu's for some food and fun! Here I am posing with the kiddos.
