At the end of March, over spring break, John and I took the boys to Orange Beach. Will had been begging to go to the beach and we thought it might be fun to do one more trip just the four of us. The weather was not ideal (that is being very positive), but we caught the sun for a bit here and there! Alex still was not crazy about the sand, but was okay with it by the last day we were there. We enjoyed a laid back couple of days with lots of snacks, lots of indoor pool time, and yummy seafood dinners. The next time we head to the beach will be with my whole family in July and I have a feeling it won't be as laid back once we add the caboose into the mix!
The day we got there we went straight to the indoor pool to burn off some energy!
The next morning it was in the 50s. We were the first out on the beach and the boys just wore their pajamas and jackets to bundle up until it warmed up a bit.
Alex decided he liked his socks on because that way the sand wouldn't touch his feet!
Finally the sun was fully out and it was warm enough to shed some layers, eat some snacks, and dig some holes!
Friday was basically a monsoon and the entire day was spent inside. After watching as many movies as we could handle, the boys decided to improvise to keep from getting bored :)
Saturday was of course the most beautiful day....and the day that we were leaving. We decided to stay on the beach for as long as we wanted and just deal with a late start back home. Alex dressed himself for the beach and made John a pretty proud daddy!
Beach naps are best! I love that Alex will sleep anywhere! And how could you not nap great with the sounds of the waves as background noise!
