In September, we went to Orange Beach for a few days and had a wonderful time. The day we drove to the beach was extremely rainy and windy. A hurricane had moved through the area just days before, so the remnants were still hanging around and made traveling tough. We almost canceled our trip, but decided to go ahead and hope for the best.
When we arrived at the condo, the kids couldn't wait to get their suits on and head to the beach. We told them that the waves were too high to get in the water, but that they could get their feet wet. I told them NOT to get their clothes wet, yet I was the first one to get mine wet. I was trying to take pictures of them and didn't realize that a big wave was coming. They laughed at me when they saw how wet my pants were.
This is a picture of how big the waves were that day. I can only imaging how big they were the few days before when the worst of the storm went through.
We took the kids to Lambert's to eat and they had the best time. They would have caught the "throwed rolls" all night if we would have let them. The food was really good and we had a great family meal together.
The next morning, we got up and got dressed to run on the beach. I had run on the beach before but this morning's run was really tough. We didn't run as much as we had planned on, but we did get a good workout in.
We also took beach pictures.
The last night we were at the beach, we all got dressed in matching clothes and took family pictures on the beach.
A kind lady, from the eighth floor, saw us swapping out people and camera, and she came all the way down from the eighth floor, to take a picture of all of us together. Thank you so much, KIND LADY! I am so glad that we have these pictures.
We had driven past this VW van several times and decided that since the kids liked it so well, that we would stop and take a picture with it.
They had such a good time playing in the water.
We all played poker in the condo and had a GREAT time. Orange Beach, we miss you and hope to return soon!
