Beach Trip--- October 7-10

Way back in September, our favorite beach spot sent us an email offering 50% off their rates, and Brad and I decided it was time for Hunter's first beach trip! We packed up our family of four and headed out at the beginning of October. Since Hunter had just turned a month old, and since we had a two-and-a-half year old Emily, we decided to pack the most important thing of all......GRANDPARENTS! :0) My mom wasn't able to come, but Brad's parents and his brother were able to join us in Gulf Shores. We had a wonderful time and got to enjoy a little down time together. Did I mention that the grandparents were there to help with the kiddos?!

Me, Brad, Tyler, and Emily (in her current
"I will not smile or even look at the camera" phase)There's that sweet smile!
You have to be sneaky to catch a grin these days!

Big Daddy and Emily head back to the condo
for a nap.....while I got to continue lounging
on the beach. HOORAY for grandparents!

Big Daddy and Hunter got to snuggle lots!

K and Hunter loved sitting on the balcony and
watching the waves. This was as close to
the beach as Hunter got.

You can't even begin to imagine
how spoiled she is by her grandparents!
(just as it should be)

Kite Flying

Father/Son Down-Time
(They were probably stressing over their retirement
plans or something. :0) We have to make them sit
still sometimes!)

It was right about now that she talked Uncle Tyler
into letting her bury him under the sand.....

Big Daddy is so silly!

Lambert's was WAY too crowded, so we opted
for Emily's favorite spot instead......CiCi's. :0)

Worn out and heading home......
with the new elephant K got for her.
