Second Beach trip of the Summer

This past weekend we headed down to the beach again. We went with my family to Orange Beach. We had a blast. Chad, Me, Allie Hunter, JD and Jennifer didn't leave till Thursday afternoon after we all got off work. So we didn't get down there till around 10ish. AH did so good riding down to the beach. I have captain seats in the middle of my SUV so we decided to stick AH in the 3rd row in the middle and she LOVED it. She could see out the front window at all the cars and big trucks as she would say. We rigged up her DVD so it would sit on middle console in between front and passenger seat so she could watch some movies. Jennifer and I sat in the captain seats in the middle and I was determined we weren't watching Dora the whole way down. So thank goodness we ended up watching 101 Dalmations, Charlotte's Web, and Happy Feet. AH watched all 3 and loved them, cause there were some sort of animal in each of them and she's fascinated with animals. Since we didn't arrive till late Thursday we hit the beds shortly after arriving.

Friday morning we woke up and it was pouring, thundering and lightening. Very disappointing day and very ugly. So we got up and decided to go eat breakfast at Ducks Diner. It was of course very delicious. My favorite place to eat breakfast at. After breakfast we went over to my cousins house and some of us went to the outlets since there wasn't anything else to do but shop and spend money :) I finally got my Michael Kors purse that I have been wanting for months and months. YAY ME !! When we got back to the condo the sun finally came back out and we hit the beach for the afternoon. There were so many people on the beach. Guess once the rain stopped everybody had the same idea. That not we all went out to eat together at The Original Oyster House and of course it was AWSOME. After dinner we all went to the track. I wanted to take AH there so she could ride some rides and enjoy it. Well once we got there JD, Joseph and my dad decided they wanted to do the sky coaster. GOD LOVE THEM. They did it all right after waiting in line over an hour. So while they waited we went to the kiddie park and AH had a blast. She didn't want to get off the rides and she couldn't get to another one fast enough. She was in Heaven.

AH and I getting ready for her to ride the swings. That was her favorite.

AH loved riding the horses just because it was a horse and she's obsessed with them. But didn't want to ride them again cause it wasn't fast enough. She gets her thrill for rides from ME !!!

Saturday morning we woke up bright and early and headed to the beach it was a beautiful and perfect day. My cousin and her fiancee J came over to hang out with us. We literally stayed on the beach all day from about 9:30-till around 5ish. AH thought the ocean was her "BIG POOL" she loved it, she thought it was so much fun when the waves came up on you. We went to the actual pool a few times but she wanted to stay in the "BIG POOL" so we but her floaties on and she played in the ocean. I was surprised I even got her to nap on the beach chairs but of course didn't last but about 45 minutes. But guess that's all she needed cause she was ready to go play when she woke up.

.....and finally she was out !!

After hanging on the beach all day we ended up taking fast showers and we just walked next door to grab something fast to eat and listen to some music at Flora-Bama. There wasn't many people there thank goodness since we had to take AH with us. Felt sorta weird taking AH in there but it wasn't crowded yet with people. She had a blast though, she loved dancing up front by the stage.

We had to leave by 8:30 since we had AH with us. So Chad and I just took her across the street to get her some choc. ice cream, that was how we had to bribe her to leave. She didn't want to leave. Everybody else stayed and enjoyed the music.

The whole gang.

Sunday morning we all woke up pretty early to finish packing and cleaning so we could head back home. Chad, me, Jennifer, JD and Allie Hunter all stopped at Tacky Jacks to eat breakfast and made a stop back by the outlets one last time before heading back to Tuscaloosa. Our tripped seemed short, but it was alot of fun. Until next years trip........
