Beach Trip!



After celebrating Douglas and Juliet's wedding, we headed over to Gulf Shores to spend a couple of days with our friends, Zach & Ellen at their condo. It's the tall one in the middle. It's a sweet setup- the condo is actually across the street from the beach, but their is a covered walkway over the road that leads to a huge, beautiful pool area and then out to the beach. NICE.



It was the end of April- but it was still quite chilly. Would that stop the girlies from getting in the water....ummmm, NO :)  God bless the daddy- you KNOW it's chilly when the daddy is wearing a sweatshirt in the water :))))  However, swinging the 50 lb girls around through the water helped warm him up a bit....






I think Gab just realized she was frozen :)
Time for a little break....

Jocelyn looooooves to look for shells. Here is her favorite find from the weekend :)
The daddy defrosting in the hot tub....
The pool was ICE COLD. But, again....that doesn't stop the girlies :)



That night we went with Zach, Ellen, and the boys to Lulu's for dinner. It's such a cool place and it's HUGE. This was the "waiting area".....not too shabby....
Gab workin' the hula hoop!
Jocie's turn....

Can't remember the name of this "throw the sack into the hole on the piece of wood" game :)


Look at Gab's killer form :)
Jocie ran into her friend, Kate, that went to her and Gab's school....

Silly girl....
 Our lone family pic of the weekend :)

Hittin' the icy water one more day...

Sandcastle time.....





While Joc and the Daddy slaved away on the sandcastle, Gab decided to just chill-ax :)



The chill-axing got a little boring, so Gabs decided to join the fun :)

They recruited me to help them finish their masterpiece....

Whoop Whoop!
Love these two little chicas!

Precious :)

They talked the daddy into getting into the FREEZING pool before we left. They can pretty much talk him into anything :)
Such a fun weekend! A huge thanks to Zach and Ellen for letting us come and stay!
