Gulf Shores 2009

Best beach trip ever....

Finally, it was our turn to head to the beach!! We have been looking forward to this trip all summer long! We knew Emery would love it all but were a little unsure about Rileigh.

Well, she had NO FEAR of anything. She thought the sand and the ocean were great! It was so much fun watching them play....and play.... and play!!

I couldn't decide which pictures to post and which to leave out. I took over 200. (ha) No, I didn't post them all, but I did go a little crazy. Hope I don't bore you!

Emery wasted no time heading to the ocean

Ri spent alot of time in the baby pool under the tent. Here she was waving at the seagulls. She called them "duck"s! :)

Sweet little Ri taking it all in...

Emery and Jason

Em found us some cool hats at the condo

Gram and Granddad trying to get all the sunscreen out of Rileigh's hair. I think this was shampooing #3!

"Swimming makes me hungry! Give me more than green beans please!"

Emery ready to jump...whether you were ready or not!

Uncle Bum buried Emery in the sand. I couldn't believe she sat still that long! :)
