Gulf Shores 2011- Day 1

We decided to leave for Gulf Shores at midnight so the girls would sleep the whole way.  That idea was a great one after someone went back to sleep...
I tried to keep the other two up as long as I could but they crashed around 11:00 p.m. clothes on and all.

We met up with Aunt Shawn, Uncle Todd, Grandma, Tyler and Maci somewhere along the way and after a couple of stops for two kids (Hannah and Maci) throwing up in the car (curvy road), we made it to Gulf Shores right around 10:00 a.m. right in time for the water park to open.  We spent the day there until we could check in our condo.

Back to the ducky slide.
Sarah Beth needed to get out of the sun so we went to a picnic table and I let her stretch out.  And, you know I took about a thousand pictures (I only added a few though).

The twins were hot and thirsty.  Tyler was nice and shared his icee with them.

After the water park, we checked in and the girls took a nap.  Then, we went down to the beach for the first time.
Hayley, Grandma, Hannah & Daddy
First time in the "Big" sand. I love Hayley's little foot.
Daddy walking with the twins.
Hayley decided to just sit down and play in the sand.  That's all she wanted to do at the time.  Her love in life (besides dressing up) is sand.
Hannah venturing off.

Big girl! I love this picture, it is so precious.
Aunt Crystal and Peyton
Hannah meeting the ocean for the first time.  Let's just say she's a HUGE fan.
Aunt Shawn helping her go a little deeper.

Beautiful sunset with storm clouds.  There was a tropical storm way off.

Love this picture!
Daddy and his girls except Hayley isn't too sure about the ocean still.
Hayley is close enough.

Beautiful clouds.
I thought these bird prints were so cute.
That ends day one of the trip!  It was a long one but well worth the drive at night to get there!
