Gulf Shores...Last Day

We have come to the end of our Gulf Shores journey.  I really picked up the photo pace on this particular day so this post is picture heavy.  I also apparently decided it was time to get in some pictures and make it appear like I was on the vacation too, so sorry for the extra Darci love in this post.  I blame the fruity drinks.

Bennett liked watching the other kids hunt crabs at night, but never really caught one himself.  So in the daylight some of the big kids (and Grandma) helped him capture his own treasure.  

We enjoyed one last day on the beach.   Nolan took the opportunity to catch a few more waves...and Bennett joined in on the ocean fun for a little while too.  He's not quite to the boogie board stage, but he's at least jumping in the waves at this point so we'll take it.

The last night we also ventured out for a little fun.  We hit up a place called Lu Lu's and it was amazing.  It had all kinds of stuff for the kids to do and all kinds of fruity beverages for the adults to drink.  Win/Win. 

The big attraction here was a giant ropes course.  Nolan told me this was his favorite part of the trip.  It was pretty amazing.  Chad went up with him because otherwise I probably would have had a heart attack.  I'm not sure these pictures quite do it justice...IT WAS TALL.  Don't worry Mom, he was wearing a harness and it was kind of safe.  

 Reid and Bennett were not tall enough for the ropes course.  Bennett did not care...Reid definitely did care.  But he was easily distracted by getting into a gigantic beach ball and rolling around a pool.  I mean who wouldn't be?  Reid thought this was amazing...Bennett did not.  Oh the memories.
