Thanksgiving in Orange Beach, AL - Days 3 and 4

After the long night at the ER, Ellis slept in Wednesday morning. He didn't wake up until 10:00AM! He was exhausted after all of that craziness. 
 
RF and I snuggled on the couch while watching an episode of Paw Patrol...

I do love my little turkeys...

RF spent some time on the balcony admiring his shell collection...

Then it was time to head out for our morning walk on the beach.

SO GLAD this kid felt better Wednesday morning. Tuesday night he had us all worried.

"I'm a bulldozer, mama."

You can't go to the beach without writing your name in the sand, right?

 


Enjoying the view.

RF decided to be a seagull...

Mama and both of her boys...

We had fun just sitting and talking on the beach...

Pool time!

These two LOVE to swim!
 
After our swim, we headed back to the condo and the boys changed and had some summer while I headed out to dinner with my sisters and dad.

There is no sunset like a Baldwin County, AL sunset...

Papa Tad came back by the condo to see the boys and checked out their shells on the balcony!

And brought some coloring books of airplanes!

These boys LOVE their Papa Tad!
 
Robert Alan and Mr. Joe made it to the beach late Wednesday night and we all headed to bed to rest for all of the festivities that awaited us on Thanksgiving!

So pretty...

It's not Thanksgiving without a little parade watching!

Eating yummy Thanksgiving dinner with the beach as your view was PERFECT! We had a big group of folks and really had a great time.

Such a handsome little man...

More beach fun!
