Gulf Shores...

Well it's been a month since I last posted. I thought I would stay more up to date...but it just hasn't happened.

A week ago, we spent a long weekend in Gulf Shores. I was on Fall Break Friday and Monday so it was a nice little get away.

Asten's parents have a timeshare there and they were already there when we arrived. Grady had a wonderful time playing in the "giant sandbox"! He loves the sandbox at his school so the beach was heaven for him.

We went out to the Oyster House Friday night and he found a couple of ride on toys.

The big alligator!

Sunday night we went to Jimmy Buffett's sister's restaurant called Lulu's. It was a really neat place!

After dinner we went to the amusement park and Grady had a ball riding the kiddie rides.

He went up in the little ferris wheel all by himself. I was more nervous than he was.

Driving the airplanes

He loved the choo-choo train. You can see the back of his head above.

The swings

And the biggest part of the night...Grady rode his very first go cart. He called them "cars". You can barely see him sitting in the passenger seat beside his Daddy. He went sooooo slow the other cars were passing him. I'm so glad he did. :)

Gulf Shores was a wonderful way to spend my Fall Break!

This weekend, we are off to Dahlonega, GA with our friends Amy, Lee, Bryan, and Brittney. We are spending the weekend in a cabin in the woods! We are taking our three kids to the pumpkin patch and hitting the outlets in Dawsonville. It should be a lot of fun!! I will update with pictures next week.
