2009 Vacation- Orange Beach, AL

The Best! What else can I say? Our vacation to the beach this year was the best vacation we have had as a family! We stayed at Sea Chase Resort on the 6th floor. My brother and his girlfriend even came to join us for part of the week. My aunt and uncle and their family also went and stayed in another condo 2 floors down.

Jeremy and I want to thank my parents for taking us to the beach this year. We had a wonderful time and will never forget all the memories we made. We would not have been able to go if it weren't for them.
Below is a list of memories ...
I hope to never forget...
~taking Rylee for her first walk on the beach- she said, "Alex want to walk in the snow with me"
~celebrating Connie's birthday at Wolf Bay Lodge (with Cindy)
~making a train in the middle of the restaurant chanting "Cindy"
~learning how to eat crab legs
~getting to spend some time with Jay
~Tucker riding on the Ferris wheel for the first time (it came a down pour and they got soaked)
~burying Gramps in the sand
~Tucker finally began enjoying the ocean a little more
~Rylee Kate became quite a swimmer this week (jumping off the side, floating on her back
and swimming with her face under water)
~crabbing at night
My favorite of all- Doosie and Ry were sitting out on the balcony one morning and mom began telling her how God measured just the right amount of water in his hands and threw it to create all the oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. Rylee looked up at mom and said, "Did it get in God's eyes when he threw it?"

Some memories I hope I forget...
~leaving for the beach 3 hours later than planned
~getting stuck in traffic for 2 hours on the way home
~my personal problem
~our experience at Doc's seafood (a girl got sick/ so we left)
~Zach using the balcony rail as a balance beam (from the 4th floor)

It looks like you guys had such a great trip! That is so scary about Zach on the railing..ugh! I loved your pictures and I would love to play with a few, but my computer with my program on it is messing up again! We are going to have to get a new one, but we have to wait until I get paid again. I'll work on them someday (and send you those from my house) someday, I promise.
