Orange Beach...Again, Part 5

I was all for throwing in the towel on family beach pics, but Damon wanted to try once more for a group shot.  These were our best efforts...

I like the balance of the pose better in this picture, but Pawpaw forgot to put the hairbrush behind his back...OOPS!

We were ready to call it quits and head to dinner, but the kids actually WANTED to take a few more...

I love this pose even though it looks like Cille is choking her brother...old habits die hard...

It was even sweeter when Watts figured out the girls were hugging and turned around to join them...

This may be my favorite picture ever...

We also got some good ones of Mawmaw and her girls...

Then it was back to reality!  We stretched a 4 hour trip into an 8 hour trip by stopping for Lambert's on the drive out and getting caught in traffic almost the entire way home, but we still had a great time together in Orange Beach!

Orange Beach...Again, Part 4

We continued building our castles in the sand...

Watts was thrilled to have his own bucket of water.  It's the little things in life, really...

Then Cille asked to be buried alive...

And her brother had a great time using her for a personal jungle gym...

This is how Watts likes to wear his goggles...

When the rest of the crew headed back to the pool, Pawpaw, Cille, and I stayed on the beach...

And this is what happens to Cille when Pawpaw and I are left with her unattended...

There was LOTS of sand in the shower after this...

The Fresh Prince of the Pool...

Orange Beach...Again, Part 3

Later that day we finally made it to the beach...

Watts decided it was time to pour sand on people...

Stella and Damon took a dip in the gulf...

Cille stuck to splashing around in the surf...

And digging in the sand...
