To Orange Beach and Back!

This past Wednesday we headed to Orange Beach for the Bedsole Family Vacation!  I think we were all ready for a little relaxation and well overdue!  We stayed at Phoenix on the Bay and very well worth it, especially for the kids!  It had a lazy river, splash pad, several pools and a slide...and yes adults can go down it too!!  We even got meme on it.  The weather for the most part was beautiful with the exception of a thunderstorm one afternoon.  Unfortunately the storm brought a little cooler weather so the water was a tad bit colder.  Nonetheless, it was good food, good fun and well spent family time!

Grey, the only brave one to stay IN the water!

The following picture is just funny.  We were all trying to get ready so we could go out to eat at Lulu's, as I was getting Maddie out of the tub, which took all of maybe 10 minutes....Landon was so tired he decided to fall asleep in the tub.  The sun just zaps you!  A big THANK YOU to my sister-in-law for the shirts she made the kids.  We tried our best to get a picture of them all together, which seems to be rare these days.

We were fortunate enough to have a night out with Trina and Brad playing Putt-putt golf and a movie.  Trina and I saw Water for Elephants (great movie) and the guys saw none other than Thor.  Thank you to meme, poppy, and nanee!

Grey and me

We were glad to have nanee stay with us for two days.  She was able to come down on Friday and spend some time with her great-grandchildren.

On our way out, we stopped at the infamous "home of the throwed rolls"...Lamberts Cafe.  Hmm, Hmm, good!  The kids  had a good time playing on the trains out front.1
