Day 4 on our Vacation!!

Wednesday we headed to the water park. Had a blast. Malachi crashes here and take his nap on the picnic table while we all have lunch. We are such an easy family. Let them sleep wherever they drop. LOL

Choo Choo....My handsome man....I just LOVE him!!

Cambre is learning to be a Voguer. She's such a poser now. She loves the camera. Sometimes I have to remind her to settle down and take a normal picture.
I have not let Darin live it down about my truck. Before we leave for vacation...the truck is completely clean...inside and out. He always teases me that I wash the truck and then drive home on the dirt road to load and then drive back out on it to leave. But I have figured out instead of being upset or irritate with Darin before we barely leave for vacation....I have to wash the truck before we actually leave because Darin will NOT hit the car wash on our way out. So...I wash it before we load and then let the wind blow the dust off....at least it's not muddy. Well....this time I didn't wash it because before we left we were going out to some old friends for this baseball reunion. Well....I knew that would require a trip down a long dirt road. And it rained while out there....so the truck so muddy. After we left....I begged and begged him to stop. He insisted that there was no need because we would hit some rain. Well....we didn't. The truck stayed muddy all week. I drive a muddy or dusty truck around all year round. I laughed and teased each other about the whole trip. But the 1 week I get to enjoy a completely clean truck...I'm denied. Girls....do you feel my pain!! LOL
After eating and a full day at the water park....we still ended up on the beach that night.

Malachi was a little fish in the pool. He surprised both Darin and I at how good he could swim and go under the water. I took Dalton is swimming lesson when he was 2 or 3. But the rest of the kids have all learned on their own. Malachi LOVED jumping into the pool and going under. We LOVED having the pools there, as well as the beach.

I thought these pictures were awesome. I didn't get very good ones of Malachi and Dalton though. The lighting started fading fast.

Digging a hole...

Day 3 on our vacation!!

Forgot my camera this day when we went to the water. But got some pics when we went out to eat that night. This was a little place closer to Orange Beach. It was good...but wasn't the to die for though.

Day 2 on our vacation!!.

We ate at Ribs and Reds this night. It was super good. I LOVE seafood!! It was a little pricey....but so worth it.

Day 1 of our beach vacation!

Hitting the road... All settled in for a long ride home...

My ankle....it's huge. I was carrying Malachi and Cambre out of the store from going to the restroom late Saturday night and didn't see the drop off because I was looking out at the truck where Darin and the boys were. I stepped down and wasn't ready...my ankle is still swollen a week and half later. Not this bad though. And just in case you're wondering....I saved the kids.We drove until 3 am Saturday night (or Sunday morning) until we decided to stop. We found a brand new Holiday Day Inn Express just before Jackson. It was super nice and only $80. We've spent more trying to find a place to stay last minute. I was super pleased with it. I'm so picky and have a thing about dirty hotels. So I'm always cringing waiting to see what we find and how clean it is. Here we're having free breakfast before we leave. Only 4/5 hours away.
Wake up Dalton!!
Cole in the car.....we're about to go over a huge bridge to get onto Dauphin Island. The ocean is here and we're all getting excited.

They've got their hands in the air on the way down the other side of the bridge. Our kids are so easly and can find fun in just about anything. Malachi had his up also....I just didn't get the camera turned around quick enough.

The ferry ride across Mobile Bay. We are almost there!Oh yeah!!....Sand!!
And the digging begins...this is what Darin does all week while on the beach...DIGS! He loves it!! It's the one week his hands are completely clean. Bury me Daddy!! Cole holding a sand crab's home.
