Gulf Shores Beach Trip 2011

As usual we started our beach vacation off with a trip to Ed's Seafood Shack...our fave little Mobile eatery on the way to the beach!

This picture is actually out of place....it was after DAYS on the beach and in the pool..the kids had a restful afternoon in bed watching Matilda and eating popcorn.

Tyndale and Gage...Tyndale drank his body weight in Gatorade daily...as you can see he found a safe spot to keep it. Below: all the cousins!




 Lindy and Eric making their ridiculously rich and sinful Eclair Cake...mmmmm... And below...a Betzhold family picture...how darling!

 We spent a TON of time at the beach..and the pool..and the beach...and the pool...and even the lagoon..but when we were inside getting some rest, THIS is what the kids looked like! Books and games on the IPads! They even had an app that could make your picture look like a zombie..we laughed so hard!

 Even the little ones were on the computer!

 One of my favorite sights of beach trip is the lovingly named "cornucopia" of fresh fruits and veggies!


 Hadley, Maylen and Gage in the "twin habitat"





 all the girls!

 Probably Tyndale's favorite part of the beach trip was hanging out in the Jeep. He loved to pretend he was driving it!
Here is Meme reading a book about the Amish way of life to the kids...they recently visited Pennsylvania.

 Tyndale with a true smile...with a bottle of Gatorade in hand...and on lip!
 Every year we visit the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. We were able to see the Blue Angels flying...it was fun! And loud!



Tyndale needed a haircut the most...so he sat in the barber's chair. Hadley and Quinn got to meet the captain of the Blue Angels! He even signed a picture for them!

Bedtime after a long day! We had such a wonderful time on the beach...celebrating family and fun and making wonderful memories!
