Gulf Shores Family Vacation Photo Overload
One look at the ocean, and the thirteen hours of driving in a minivan of six fades. All of the memories and fun that followed are just bonus material.
We spent a week in Gulf Shores, Alabama, with Brad’s family last week, and it was unforgettable. We spent most days the same as the first: digging in the sand, swimming in the ocean, searching for crabs, boogie boarding, swimming in the pool, and sharing meals together.
It was as relaxing as vacationing with four boys in front of a massively vast ocean could be! 😉 {Life guard duty got a little tiring at times. These boys have NO FEAR of waves or the ocean.}
I don’t often bombard you with a ridiculous amount of pictures, but these are the ones I couldn’t resist sharing after going through 100s.
On our way south, the boys got their first real taste of ribs at Dreamland. {Isaac}
I think we’re still cleaning out sand from cracks and crevices. ;) {Brooks}
If this beach bum doesn’t make you laugh, I’m not sure what will… {Clark}
The start of a sandcastle, which turned into a massive hole. Because what boy doesn’t love getting to dig all day long?
When they weren’t in the sand, they were boogie boarding, swimming, or hunting for crabs. A four hour endeavor of happy entertainment one day! {Henry}
This is one day’s catch. All hermit crabs.
Brad and I were able to escape for a date night one night to Louisiana Laginappe. Best Friend on the Planet!
Meanwhile, the boys went for a night swim and made goofy faces.
It was one of those refreshing and reflective trips that made me so thankful for my family that God has given me.
I’m so thankful my boys have each other. Brothers through thick and thin.
And I’m relishing these days I get to still hold onto their hands.
