Lamb Family: Gulf Shores 2008

Friday, June 27th: The Duff and Lamb family left for Gulf Shores. We stopped and spent the night in Prattville, AL. The kids did real well in the car and loved Bass Pro Shop.

The first potty stop in AL.

Hayden and Drew at B ass Pro Shop. They look sweet don't they?

"No more monkey's jumping on the bed..."

I wonder what does through their heads...

Saturday, June 28: The kids ate breakfast and played in the hotel while the adults got ready. We started out to Gulf Shores. We stopped twice, once being the fruit market right before Gulf Shores. It was a packed place but it was a good bathroom stop. We arrived in Gulf Shores around lunch time and hit the McDonalds. The condo let us check in several hours early. We even were able to hit the beach that afternoon. The first dinner spot was the "Hang out".

Drew loved digging in the sand

Great Body...

Sunday, June 29: The kids were really tired and slept in but were very excited to go to the beach again. We took them to the beach and then ended up at the pool. Our condo had a baby pool with a waterfall. As you can imagine we made many visits to the pool bathroom. In case you haven't figured out both children are potty training but happy to report: No accidents... Today's dinner was at the "Orginal Oyster House".

Monday, June 30: Today was more of the same, the beach and pool. The exciting thing for today was the tornado warning on the beach. Justin and Jason spent a lot of the afternoon going from the front to the back of the condo watching the storm roll in. The police even cleared the beach, which was a little strange. Since the storm came in we went to the outlet mall and then to Lulu's. She is Jimmy Buffett's sister and has a huge sandbox for the kids to play in while you wait, which is great since we have never waited less than two hours to eat. Drew and Hayden ran around and messed up other children's sand castles. Justin had a heart to heart with them and then a family hugged. (Didn't seem to work)

Tuesday, July 1: Can you believe it's July already? Anyway... Today was our best weather day. No clouds in the sky, very hot. We spent most of the day at the pool and went in for lunch and naps. Jenn and I spent an hour or so out by the pool which was nice. We decided to eat pizza in the condo this night and then go ride go carts. I have say both kids loved the go carts and wanted to ride them again. Of course, we went to get ice cream at TCBY.

Wednesday, July 2: We were leaving the beach and heading home. We drove the whole way and made good time. We stop every two hours pretty much and once to eat. The kids were really good in the car and at the beach. The entire group had a great time and cant' wait till next year. We did decide that maybe next year we should take "Grannys". Ha, Ha.
