Our family took our vacation this summer to Gulf Shores. We mixed a little business with pleasure and had a wonderful time. Jeremy had the honor of officiating a wedding ceremony of one of his high school buddies so we tacked on a few extra days of vacation as a family. Here are a few of the pictures from the trip. We had such a good time hanging out as a family.
Harrison loved the beach this time
and especially loved the pool!
He enjoyed jumping of the side off the pool into our arms. He also was very brave and walked into the water with us. The pool was one of those that have a gradual slope so that the kids could play in relatively shallow water. Harrison however; did not let the depth of the water hinder him. I think he sprouted a porpoise fin while we were down there because he was jumping and splashing like crazy!
Kate enjoyed the sound of the waves and the sea breeze. One afternoon she took a nap in the gently breeze. She did put her feet in the sand and dipped them into the ocean. She didn't cry, but wasn't a fan either. Kate was the darling of the beach and attracted the gazes of many people. But what would you expect? She is so adorable, especially in her pink bikini!
We also spent some time at the track! Harrison rode the swings, merry-go-round and the train! He had a blast! Kate enjoyed hanging out and observing her big brother. We got so much joy out of watching our kids enjoy the festivities. They were well behaved and had smiles on both of their faces most of the time!
One of the highlights of our trip was the wedding that Jeremy officiated on Mobile Bay. We were able to stay in a really nice hotel with a really great atmosphere and pool. The sun popped out long enough for Harrison to go down the slide a few times and for Kate to catch a few rays! It was so much much fun! I cannot say enough how thankful we are for God's blessings!

Looking at your family picture I think Harrison is a mix of you two. He has your nose with Jeremy's eyes and lips. Kate is just all you so far. She is going to be pretty like her Mommy. I love Gulf Shores so much and have been on no other beach. You went at a good time of year too. It wasn't too hot. Did it seem like it was hotter here after you had been there? It seemed like that to us after we got back this year, in July!
next beach trip...make it san diego!
Ok we are way past the beach trip! Quite cleaning your house and make good use of that nap time! BLOG!! (:
