Gulf Shores 2012

We just returned from our first ever "Just the 4 of Us" family vacation, and we loved every minute of it!  We spent every waking minute at the beach or pool, soaking up the sun.  Brad cooked (fabulous meals!) every night so that we never had to leave the beach early to get ready.  We were able to get in loads of sun, fun, and relaxing together-time!

 The tide pool was a big hit!


 No more pictures, Mommy!  ;-)




 Brad now knows how to make crab claws....soooo fabulous!
 Hunter is fearless in the pool which is absolutely TERRIFYING to Brad and me!
 Daddy was a walking jungle gym and extremely popular!  Notice Emily sweetly hanging on and Hunter bounding right off into the water.....
 Sweet baby boy toted his truck and tractor everywhere-
 Baptizing her feather.....such a creative and imaginative sweetheart!

 Sweet talks with my precious girl
 Soaking up some cuddle time!


 Pretty much sums up how Hunter feels about stopping for pictures!
 So very thankful for our precious babies!!
 A favorite spot of the trip-

 Helping Daddy pack up
 Feel so blessed!
 Our elevator controller throughout the trip-
 Meet Pinchy, our new hermit crab!  Emily is smitten!

Great pics! Looks like sooo much fun. Let's go the beach together next time and SOON! Can't wait to meet Pinchy. And where in the world did Brad learn to make crab claws?! They look amazing!

Nathan is going to be so excited when I tell him that Emily got a hermit crab( he has one too, he showed it to her when we were visiting once). They look so cute. I hope you had fun. :)
