Family on the Beach

Today I have some family pictures I thought you (or at least immediate family) might enjoy!

Remember I said that Ron and I had been to Gulf Shores 10 1/2 years ago. It was kind of a honeymoon. We were married on a Saturday with the U-haul hooked to Ron's truck we left Lancaster, Ohio for Jackson Mississippi. We spent the first 2 days after our wedding traveling to Jackson, and arrived on Monday! It was crazy, but looking back - it was great too! It caused us to depend on each other for EVERYTHING! We were so far from all our family and friends.

Anyway, we had been given a little money from family and friends at our rehearsal dinner and were told to use it specifically for a honeymoon (of which we didn't have planned). So we decided to travel to Gulf Shores and see if we could find a room for a couple of nights. That was our first trip. We took 2 or 3 other trips to Gulf Shores during out time in Mississippi and we loved every chance we got!

So now 10 1/2 years later, here we are:

Maddie really liked the sand.
She likes to get attention too.
These glasses helped with that!
My best attempt to get all 4 facing the same direction.

This is a hilarious one. It captures Maddie giving instructions before...
I get this!

Here's the family!
My sister-in-law took this as we walked out to the water for another picture.

You may or may not be able to tell from the pictures, but we had a fabulous time at the Gulf!

Thanks Mom and Dad (aka Pap and Grandma) for a great week!
