Gulf Shores - Part 2

the second half of our vacation we spent as a family of 5 plus grandma.  everyone else headed back to the real world while we kept playing :)  russ and my girls do not have the best complexions for hours and hours spent on the beach so we kept ourselves busy with lots of different activities.  it was great at their ages and there were a couple of times grandma was able to stay at the condo with little c sleeping while we took the big girls out.  we had a great week and the girls were great...

the big girls got to play putt putt one afternoon...hot but fun!!

 pirate breakfast....treasure hunt and all!

some beach time... 

ALLIGATOR ALLEY!!!!

We spent a wonderful week in Gulf Shores this summer and one evening i decided it would be nice to try and get some family shots...should have known it wasn't going to be easy with a 5, 3, and 1 year old (esp. since the littlest won't put her feet in the sand)....top it off it was a hazy evening and well.... no matter, they're pretty sweet girls :)
