From the Fullness of His Grace: Orange Beach

Orange Beach

We took our first beach trip last week down to my grandparents' house on the bay in Orange Beach (yes I said 1st trip--we plan on taking at least 1 more beach trip this summer!) We met my parents and their friends, the Bakers, there last Monday. The Bakers were a lot of fun to have with us and they even brought their jet skiis which was an extra special little treat. The Bakers left on Wednesday and then the rest of us finished out the week there and headed back on Sunday. Unfortunately, Owen got a fever on Tuesday night and had it until Thursday evening, which wasn't fun at all--especially for him, poor baby :( We made the best of it though and took turns staying with him and rotating going to the beach, to the workout facility at my parents' condo, and riding around on the jet skis in the bay. Tony & I even rode the jet skiis over to a little restaurant on the water one night and had cocktails & an appetizer. It was so much fun! My parents condo has an AWESOME pool with a kids area that has a walk in pool and fountains shooting up out of the water. Before Owen got sick, he really seemed to enjoy that area the best :) There is also a lazy river which is an absolutely fabulous place to grab a tube and a good book and float the day away. We had a wonderful time in Orange Beach as always and can't wait to go back again later this summer!!! Oh, and I'm happy to report that Owen is 100% better now by the way :) Here are some of my favorite pics from our trip. There's quite a few, but I just couldn't narrow it down any more than this--they were so many great ones!
