We had a great time in Gulf Shores this weekend. The trek started last Thursday. Emma Claire did great on the flights. She enjoyed looking around, making friends and jabbering...a lot and with volume! She was even able to sit in a free seat next to the window on the last leg to Pensacola. She liked playing with her maraca.We arrived in Pe
nsacola after lunch and were picked up By Greta and Jason. We met Mom and Dad and settled into The Baileys' condo at "Martinique". It was a beautiful place and just steps from the beach. Greta, Rowie and I took Emma Claire to the beach. It was her first time to see the ocean. She enjoyed playing in and mostly eating the sand. We had supper at LuLu's on the water. We ate lots of good seafood and Emma Claire enjoyed sweet potatoes for the first time. She loved them!

played in the sand again and was frightened of the waves. She swam in the pool and floated in her "frog". We ate at the "Stea
mer" on Friday night. Again, lots of good seafood (sweet potatoes for Emma Claire). Emma Claire enjoyed the shrimp "performance" that Uncle Jason put on (shrimp heads on his fingers). Following dinner was a heated put-put golf match. Couples teams. Brad and Emily won, Jason and Greta second and Mom and Dad third. Ice cream all around for the finishers. Mom made the only hole in one.

goal, but had a good showing. We celebrated the birthdays on Saturday night. Mom's 59th and Dad's 60th. We played a "trivia" game and had Blue Bell ice cream (cookies and cream, of course!). A real treat for this transplanted Southern girl. One day maybe Byerly's will wise up and get Blue Bell!

We had fun, but it is always good to be home (to beautiful fall weather, too). We walked over the the Hansons' to pick up the dogs. They all had fun. "Delightful" and "Sweeter than sweet" were a couple of the phrases Whitney used to describe them...I am not sure she had the right pups! I think they were sad to come home!
We had a great time!
