Russo Vacation

The Russo family vacation was to Orange Beach this year from September 13th-September 18th. We had to stop at Bucee's on the way. 
The kids wanted to go to the pool and slide right after we checked in. 
For dinner that night we went to Doc's Seafood. They have games outside to play. The food was really good. 
The kids enjoyed the slide 
The girls made recliners and played in the sand 
The waves were good. The weather was cloudy and rainy off and on for the week. 
It was raining a lot on Wednesday, so we went to an arcade to play games. We also went to Walmart to get board games. 
We ate at the shrimp basket that night. 
Went in the souvenir shop after dinner. 
Gianna got an airbrushed hat
The sun was out on Thursday 
The boys did a lot of boogie boarding. Hudson's board broke and he got a new one from Ron Jon's Surf Shop as a souvenir.

She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
