We went to Orange Beach, AL with Josh's family for vacation. Everyone else left on Monday, but Josh had a meeting on Tuesday for work. Hudson went ahead with Papa & Nana and we left Tuesday afternoon with Gianna. She didn't sleep at all on the way, but she did okay.
The weather was cool and the water was very cold. It was an usually cold May week. The kids didn't want to go very deep in the water.
Thankfully, they had several indoor pools so it didn't stop the kids from swimming.
It did warm up some by Thursday and it was a pretty day. The water was still cold, but more bearable to do the lazy river.
They loved the kiddie slides. Gianna would go down and immediately get out to go again. Josh was getting worn out from catching her.
Hudson was brave and went down a big slide with Josh
The resort had nice amenities like a tennis court, playground and arcade.
It wasn't the best weather on the beach day, but at least we went once.
It was Gianna's first time to the beach and her first vacation too. She didn't mind the sand, but wanted it off her hands and mouth.
She was excited to go to the beach! She is still talking about it.
Hudson said his stomach was hurting and all of a sudden he threw up. We don't know exactly why, but it was only one time. He slept for a while and recovered quickly. We were going to the go cart track and I think that helped him get moving.
I'm glad he was feeling better and didn't miss it. He had such a good time and did not want to leave!
Gianna didn't quite make the height requirement, but Josh convinced them to let her ride. She looked so little in that go cart.
Hudson was tall enough to drive the kiddie carts by himself! He drives his own stuff at home, but for some reason seeing him at a track really hit me. I teared up seeing him drive the go cart around.
The kids went on some rides and Gianna did some things more her size.
She didn't want to get off when the ride stopped and she would cry.
last stop at the souvenir shop before leaving
These are some family pictures that Cadie took
It was a fun trip and we really enjoyed spending time with everyone. The kids played hard and had a great time together. Gianna must have been tired because she slept on the way home.
