Beach Day Friday

Friday we spent most of the day at the beach and at the large resort swimming pool. So we headed out after breakfast that morning. So there was an older man, not that old.. maybe 60, that sat on the beach everyday under a LSU tent. He had quite a collection of water toys to use on the beach, he had acquired over the summer. He would let the kids borrow what ever toy they would like as long as they returned it at the end of the day. He was the nicest man. The kids loved to go pick a new toy out everyday. Friday he suggested we borrow his baby blow up pool for Harper to sit in.

Harper loved the little pool. Payton and Cooper had to join her of course. She did wonderful for a long time, until Cooper fell on top of her and pushed her head under the water, and then she was done with the pool experience.

Harper and her big floppy hat. I thought she looked so cute, and it actually was practical it really blocked the sun.

Hagen picked a blow up boat with a rope to play with for the day. This day in particular there were crab swimming all around in the water. Erik, Hagen and Lance took nets out and were scooping them up. Hagen made Erik pull him around in the boat, while they were "fishing for crab". His boat was named the Corneilla Marie.

One of the crabs they caught and released back into the water.

Later that Evening we headed back to the beach, for pictures. What a process with four children.

I am going to blow this up for my granddad. I just wish my cousin's little boy Jaxson was in it, maybe next year.

Happy kids.

After our photo session, we headed back to the house and fed the kids. KK was gracious enough to watch the kids while we all went out to dinner. We decided to eat at The Original Oyester House. There was a small wait, but SO WORTH IT. The best seafood I have ever had. The Baked oyesters were soo good. If you are ever in Gulf Shores or Mobile, this is a must.

A wonderful day!
