Vacation - Orange Beach

Last week we went to the beach with my family. We had a few glitches in the beginning (including my nephew getting the chicken pox the day before we left), but we had a GREAT time. We stayed at the Caribe in Orange Beach and I highly recommend it -- my sister's kids kept calling the pools a water park!!!

I have to thank my mom big time for taking care of EmK. As I've discussed with many of my friends who have had children in the last year, the beach just isn't the same once you have kids:). The days of relaxing by the pool or being lazy at the beach are over unless you are lucky enough to have a grandparent with you. We were very lucky to have my mom with us the entire trip who took such great care of EmK when she no longer cared about being by the pool. Thanks mom!!

Here are a few pictures from the week.



Evan (2) LOVED the water slides!!


Charlie and Ethan (5) sliding together!


Do I have enough sunblock on?


Jordan, Elizabeth (9), and Janna getting ready for the SkyCoaster


Elizabeth was terrified when it started!!


Me and my sister


Jordan, Ethan, and Evan


EmK loves watching Evan


I think EmK and Jordan have the same hairstyle:)


He's just SO cute!!!


Evan loves, loves, loves Jordan. When my sister had to leave to take care of Ethan(who was sick the first half of the week), Evan only stayed with us becuase JORDAN was there.....he was like his little shadow. It was fun to watch them together!


Trying to play paddle ball:)


EmK loves this pink water stick


She loves it even more in her mouth!!




Raise your hand if you had a GREAT time on vacation!!!

Love the blog about the vacation. It is hard to believe that it has come and gone. But we did have a good week in spite of some of the obstacles that challenged us. I just kept thanking God in spite of it all just because we were all together. I enjoyed helping out with EmilyK and I having a tough week adjusting to everyone being gone. But I will see yall soon.
