Spring Break!

We headed east to Dauphin Island for a much-needed vacation and to spend time with family. My Aunt Becky arranged for two condos, and we spend the week with my mom, Aunt Becky, Aunt Barb and cousins Libby, Eli, Luke, Lexi, and Andy. This post is a little picture-heavy which means I actually did a decent job of taking pictures on this trip.

Hank and his cousin Luke all cuddled up for story time with Aunt Becky on the first night
First time at the beach


All boys busy at work on their sandcastles

Godzilla knocking down the sandcastles

Andy and his masterpiece
Naptime on the beach


Eli contemplating his next move...



Just chilling on the tire swing with Daddy...
Swim diaper and Crocs
Morning routine...
Morning story time with May-mee
Game time with Libby, Eli
Hank and Mommy at Fort Gaines
I could not get a good picture of these two playing on the anchor - Hank is digging for gold in this picture





    
Up to no good...
Taking a break from shopping at the outlets...
Playing soccer with his new ball
Eating animal crackers and waiting for Mommy to get done shopping 
Trying to pet the sting rays...


Checking out the sting rays with cousin Luke
Hank and his cousin Eli steering the ship...

The best family picture that we could manage on this trip :)

Sometimes I really do feel like cell phones have taken over our lives. However, I am very grateful that I can quickly capture so many spontaneous moments. It seems that it always takes me forever to find my regular camera, and then I consider myself lucky if it actually has a memory card with space left on it for new pictures.

"Mommy, can we order Papa John's for breakfast?"

"Look Mommy, I found these on the counter and got them down myself."

"No thanks, I'm not ready to wake up and get ready for school."


Hat shopping with Daddy.

"My turn to drive!"



Too cool...
