Of course we ate. Here Pap, Eli and Bradley were tired of waiting on everyone else to finish up games, so they got their own supper!
Pap has been in the kitchen quite a bit in the last year - he's become a pro!
Aunt Tonya (my brother, Jay's wife) likes to cook.
I liked letting her ;) and Eli loved helping.
Nathaniel was caught with his head down while eating - I really need to bottle up the sand and gulf to wear the kids out more often!
Lots of games were played! Here's Grandma and the kids playing monopoly.
Dominoes by the Gulf, anyone? (It was a little windy, but not too windy for Dominoes)
Maddie learns how to play Sudoku, or tries!
I love this! I happen to overhear Eli and Bradley (who is 9 months older) as they discussed their boggle game. I wish you could see their papers clearer - full of scribbles!
Lots of time to read!
Then one morning we took our 4 to show them some sights around Gulf Shores. This is a view from a pier we walked out on. Ron and I had been on a similar one 10 1/2 years ago, but we think it was destroyed in Katrina.
It was pretty windy out on the pier too. I can't figure out why, but people kept asking us if we were from OHIO. Gotta love those crazy Buck Nuts!
Then we also took the kids to a souvenir shop where Ron and I remembered visiting. They loved it. This was the first picture, but then if you back up...
They boys liked that they were being eaten by a Shark.
Jay's family wore matching shirts for their family pictures.
Terra and Maddie had fun together
Maddie loves her Uncle Jay!
Eli had a great time with his cousin, Bradley too.

Eli had a great time with his cousin, Bradley too. Yes, they are just as ornery as they look!
One afternoon us girls went shopping. Mom wanted to buy Terra and Maddie matching outfits. Aren't they cute!?!
This was a fun picture. Terra looks sooooo grown up, Maddie looks stinkin' cute.
And here is the whole crew!
