Fort Morgan was were we spent the last week of July.
We talked about the beach for so long, hip, hip hooray we finally are here! Our pretty blue house for the week was perfect.
MrHayes and MissRaylyn were the first to arrive with their Mom and Dad. Soon MissLayton, MissHadley and MissAllyAnn plus Mom and Dad arrived and the gang was all here.
Papa was in heaven (well we all were) and the twins took to the waves like fish. That is until day three when the jelly fish came for a visit.
If you want to see the perfect beachy top knot, MissRaylyn was sporting one. Lala also surprised the littles with matching night gowns.
We had my Mom's 80th birthday celebration that week too! She and Karl made it down to the beach and my sisters and their husbands joined in too!
We had a turtle nest right by the house, but, sadly it was not time for them to hatch and swim away while we were there.
MissLayton and Barbie had fun in the sand. And the same Barbie, in the below picture, had fun flying a kite.
Guys chillin' under the tent and littles chillin' and cleaning shells with the hose.
It was a short walk to the beach from our house and an even shorter week at beach! The time went by so fast!
Fort Morgan, Alabama is a fifteen minute drive from Gulf Shores, so we made a lot of trips back and forth for dinner and shopping. But, the beach reminds us of what Gulf Shores used to be. Mainly, houses and no high rise buildings.
We will be back!
I think it's so funny and sweet and poetic in a technology sort of way that my blogging friend was right down the beach from me on the exact same week I was there! So happy you had a fun time, and I'm telling you, those matching little girl swim suits are the cutest thing I've seen in the last 20 years!
