The Dolphin Cruise

Today we took a little break from the beach. Three of us (Aunt Lane, Amber and Aubrey) sunburned yesterday and needed a break from the sun. We had so much fun today on the dolphin cruise. Anna loved it. Amber took the awesome pictures for me. She is so much better at taking pictures than I am. Our trip was cut a little short by rain but we got to see the dophins jumping in the wake of the boats so we didn't mind. After the dolphin cruise we went shopping at the Tanger Mall down here. We didn't buy much but had a good time. This evening we just hung out in the condo watching tv. We had a much needed relaxing day.

















Highlights of the last few days in pictures.








Day one at Gulf Shores

Here are some highlights from our first day at Gulf Shores.
The view from our balcony.

Our condo from the beach.




We are on the 16th floor.

By the time we got down to the beach it was already dark but the kids ran in anyway.

The long ride to the beach

Here are just a few pictures from our trip down here.
How the big kids spent most of the trip.
This look on Ashley's face totally describes the McDonald's we stopped at for breakfast.Amber catching a grasshopper in the nasty McDonald's we stopped at for breakfast. Anna and Uncle Steve. This was taken when we first got here. The kids ran to the edge of the parking deck to get a good look at the beach. Anna was thrilled.
I'll post more later. The beach is calling me.

The XLERATOR

We had a blast in a gas station restroom on the way down. I think we were somewhere is Mississippi. The xlerator is a hand blow dryer thingy that blows the air mega hard. First we started out with our hands to see how freaky it looked making our skin ripple. Then Amber stuck her thigh under it and we really cracked up. I didn't dare put mine under there. That could have caused bodily harm to me and those standing near. Anyway, here are 2 videos the first of Anna. She got the bright idea to put her face under the air. After that Amber couldn't resist. She did it also. People in that gas station probably thought we were nuts but we had a blast and needed it after about 7 hours in the car.
