Orange beach

I took the boys on a last minute trip to Orange Beach this week. We stayed in a great little one bedroom condo across the street from the beach. The boys slept in bunk beds and I had a king bed all to myself! Dave has a company man in town from Canada this week and the boys don't have school for another couple of weeks, so I thought, why not!?! It just so happened that my neighbor and good friend Theresa and her family were at Gulf Shores the same days as we were! We met up with Aidan and Alyssa for some beach time and then went to Waterville (a water park) with the 4 kids. Jack and Theo had a BLAST at the beach and Waterville! I didn't bring my camera to the water park for obvious reasons but really wish I could have gotten some pictures of the boys there. We stopped and got peach ice cream from Burris' fruit stand on the way in to the beach on Tuesday. This was in honor of Dave, who claims he was tortured by long trips to this same fruit stand as a kid. Poor boy. I also took the boys to The Wharf and rode the ferris wheel with them. Jack and Theo loved it. I was kind of freaked out by how high up we were!! We went to Build a Bear and picked out a Tiger for Jack and a monkey for Theo.

All in all, this little trip was a blast! I handled it alone and know we can do this kind of stuff again! Go team mom!!!
