Last week we headed to Gulf Shores for a week at the beach.
But first, we stopped at my mom's and went to a good ole fashion fish fry and church auction.
My parents and brother's family go each year, and we were excited to join in on the fun and tag along.
Addy helped win a bird house, and Gretchen had fun bidding too!
Sunday morning we were up bright and early to head to the beach.
Hello Mississippi River.
We packed each of the girls a snack box, so I wasn't constantly handing out snacks every time they complained they were hungry.
We finally stopped for lunch, somewhere in Mississippi.
And then crossed in to Alabama.
We drove by the battleship.
And made it to Gulf Shores right around dinner time.
Our condo was right by Sea & Suds, so we headed there to eat.
After dinner, Gee took the girls to the condo, and we ran across the street to the market to pick up groceries. We had planned to go to a real grocery store, but we were tired, and this market was right across the street, so we totally paid for convenience.
Now, the market didn't have shopping carts, but our condo did. So, DJ wheeled it across the street so we wouldn't have to carry our groceries back.
Monday morning was beach day! My mom and sister in law went down early to set up our chairs and reserve our spots.
I headed out on a morning run.
Yay for beach time! We were looking forward to just sitting there and soaking up the sand and surf.
The girls had so much fun.
This girl was a total beach girl. She loved being in the ocean!
Sisters playing in the water.
Megan ran up and said, "I caught a fish!" And we didn't believe her, but sure enough, she caught a fish.
We took her picture, and then let the fish go.
Our chairs all lined up....
The girls had so much fun playing together.
Later that night, we ate dinner in the condo and then went out to explore the beach at night.
We found shells.
And then waited for it to get dark so we could go crab hunting.
Gretchen found three crabs before we called it a night!
