On Thursday after the kids got out of school, Adam took us to the airport for our trip to visit Grandpa Roger and Grandma Pat in Alabama.
The kids snacking on their coveted Delta Biscoff cookies :) They also received their Delta wings from a pilot:)
Friday walking on the beach in front of Grandma and Grandpa's condo.
Ayson was busy looking for hermit crabs
And Addie was drawing hearts in the sand
We tagged along with Grandma to a Drs appointment. While we waited, we went to the Foley Railroad Museum
Grandpa and the kiddos
After lunch we went to Aunt Shirley's community to play in the indoor pool!
Mr Muscles Ayson (air in his swim shirt)
Happy Valentine's Day! Ayson spent his own money on Valentine's candy for us and surprised Grandma, Grandpa, and Addie with the treat. Thank you, Ayson!!
- note: candy is more than 50% off on the afternoon of Valentine's Day - hahaha.
Playing Crazy 8s
Saturday
Another walk along the beach Saturday morning watching the hermit crabs walk along the sand.
Sand angel
Ayson making a boat for hermit crabs
Look, the hermit crabs are floating
The plan was to go to the beach on Saturday afternoon but he kiddos could not wait and decided to test out the pool at the condo. The water was a bit cold :)
Off to the Beach!
The kiddos had so much fun playing in the sand and the waves:)
Sunset from the condo balcony
Another night, another board game :)
Sunday: a late breakfast
and then off to another pool. THIS indoor pool had a climbing wall - so COOL!!
On Monday, went went to the playground so that the kids could play and Amy and Grandma walked the boardwalk and checked out the art gallery.
Checking out a green anole on the rocks
Can you see the anole
Watching a glass maker stretch a glass blob into a starfish.
Other art work
That afternoon, we went to yet another pool and this one had a slide and a diving board :)
A late afternoon walk along the beach and the beach was spotted with Portuguese Mon O' War
"Portuguese man o’ war, (Physalia physalis) is often called a jellyfish, but is actually a species of siphonophore, a group of animals that are closely related to jellyfish"

Addie schooling Grandpa in Connect Four
Ayson's turn!
On Tuesday, we walked to the obstacle course at the Orange Beach Community Center section of the Back Country Trail and Grandma, Amy, Ayson, and Addie conquered the course!
Ferns growing in the moss on a huge tree
The hardest part of the course
Everyone on the course!
Yay!
Last afternoon on the beach!
Digging holes in the sand
Building a mote to protect their holes and castles
Last walk along the beach on Wednesday morning
Hahaha. When we were not eating, outside playing, playing cards, or sleeping, THIS is exactly what the kids were doing :)
We spent Wednesday night at the airport hotel in order to catch a 5 am flight home and the kiddos were able to squeeze one last bit of pool fun into their vacation
Thursday morning came super early but the flights were on time and all went well.
The ceiling art work between concourses A and B is always a HUGE hit
And we are home!
