We left on Labor Day with the Russo family for a beach vacation. We did Disney in February, so it felt like a long time since a vacation. The kids wanted to go to the beach too, so they were excited to get the chance at the end of summer.
We stopped for breakfast on the way out and then Kaden rode in the truck with us on the way there.
Gianna was with Grace in the other vehicle
They immediately had to try out the pool, lazy river and slides! We stayed at the Caribe. This was our third time staying there. It is a very nice place and has a lot for kids to do.
The first day there we went to the beach first. Every morning following started at the beach and then we would go to the pool after lunch.
Waiting for the trolley to take us to the beach.
The trolley made it so easy hauling all of our stuff from the condo to the beach. We didn't have to get sand in our vehicles.
The kids loved the beach! They could spend hours out there, which is nice to stay in one spot for a while.
No one was out there on the first day
That night we ate at a new burger place. Josh liked their spicy ketchup so much that he bought two bottles.
Day 3- September 6th
There were huge jellyfish all down the beach, but no one was stung
They tried catching little fish that were swimming all around
Josh caught a blue crab and then they kept trying for the next couple of days
Had dinner at the Shrimp Basket on two nights. Josh was joking, but messed up our picture. He doesn't like to take pictures 😁
Hudson said he doesn't like to take pictures either and Jen told him too bad! 😆
We did a sand crab hunt that night. It was very windy and a little cool. It was girls versus boys to see who could catch the most.
The boys won, but everyone had fun!
Fishing and crabbing continued
Hudson was really into fishing on the trip
A big pirate tour ship passed by when we were on the beach
The last beach day
We went on the ocean side for the kids to play in the waves
They had so much fun!
I have no idea??

Headed to take family pictures
I was trying to recapture a moment from Hudson's first Gulf Shores trip in September 2010
not exactly, but Hudson has grown!!
We really enjoyed vacationing with everyone and making memories together!
Nana & Papa watched the kids on the last night and we ate at the Cobalt restaurant
We were about to leave the condo and go home. Glad they get to spend these times with their cousins.
and a silly one...
