We spent the last week in Orange Beach with Bryant's parents and it was fabulous! This was the first time that we've gone and Miller was really fun and easy. Jacob did really well for a 12 month old, but babies at the beach are of course a challenge. While I'm certainly not wishing time with my baby away, it did make me look forward to how much fun it will be when he is a little older. Bryant's parents were a HUGE help though and made the trip much more enjoyable than it would have been if it had just been our little family.
Miller couldn't wait to see the beach when we got there!
Can't think of a better place to celebrate Jacob's first birthday!
Jacob wasn't too sure about the squishy sand between his toes!
Monday was Jacob's birthday so we were sure to celebrate at dinner.
Miller took this picture of Papa and Nana. Not bad for a three year old!
Baby boy was pretty excited about his birthday dessert, Banana's Jubilee.
A birthday kiss from big brother after he helped blow out the candle.
I think the birthday boy liked it! We helped him out with it, but he was not happy with me when I tried to take the plate away to share with others, ha!
Jacob was pretty happy on the beach as long as he was in the shade and had plenty of snacks.
We had some pretty big waves the last couple of days and Miller finally got brave enough to play in them a little. He never wanted to venture out for a swim, but the water was also pretty cold.
Miller wanted to eat every meal outside on the balcony. It was hard to argue with such a good idea.
One afternoon, Bryant took Miller to The Track for some fun and games.
And the next night Bryant and I got to go out on our own!
It's a good thing I got in some grown-up time that night, because the next day it was time to head home and this is how I spent about half of the drive...
It really was such a fun trip and we're so thankful that Nana and Papa invited us! I'm sure they would have had a much more relaxing week without us, but we really appreciate all that they do for our family. We made some great memories!
