Family Vacation 2010 - Orange Beach, AL

Once again, our family headed to the beach.  This time, we went to Orange Beach, AL.  Despite the oil, we had a great time!

This was our first day at the beach.  Hayden is all smiles:)

Tyler building a sand castle.


You don't see this too much on the beach . . . a tractor.  This was part of the oil clean-up crew.


Corey enjoying some shade.


Here's another site you don't see, at least up close.  These 2 boats were skimming and corralling oil.


Corey enjoying the lazy river.








This was a common site.  The boys playing the DS.

Daddy, Tyler, and Mr. Fred digging for shells.


What a deep hole you have dug, Daddy!!!!  Digging for shells was probably the most memorable thing the boys did this year.  Digging down 3 feet, we discovered some really great treasures:)


Hayden scored a hole in one!


Tyler scored one too!


The boys playing in the ocean.


They loved jumping when the waves crashed.





I got to bury the boys in the sand.

We stayed at Phoenix West which had a water slide and lazy river.  This was such a great place to stay.

We had a great time!  Think we will take another break from the beach and do something different next year.
