LuLu's and "Afessionals"

Well We had a great time at the beach yesterday and today, I'm sad to go home!

Leah, Melissa, and Avery has us take 4million pictures until we finally caught them at the exact moment in the air...I was pretty annoyed having to watch them jump in the air so many times, but I'll have to admit this picture turned out pretty cool. I would've joined them but my Love Handles wouldn't let me jump up that far.


We ate dinner at LuLu's last night. If you are ever in Gulf Shores, AL and want a place to go that is great for parents and kids, go to LuLu's! It's Jimmy Buffett's Sister's Restaurant. They have live music every night, three different bars, and a sand/recreation area/beach for the kids to play at. Our wait was two hours...yeah, I said two hours, but flew by so fast. We listened to a band, had drinks, played bean bag toss (Baggo) and shopped at LuLu's souvenir shop. It was really fun!
Here's me and Leah at LuLu's..

It came a monsoon last night and today was pretty cloudy until about lunch. Caroline, the little one, is Six going on 21. She informed me this morning that the waves were so bad that the only people that could surf would be the "afessionals" and she actually did the air quotes. It took me a second before I realized she meant "professionals." Then she informed me that she preferred going to her GiGi's to play rather than her MiMi's because MiMi had ugly Barbies. She also asked me if I was pregnant...I'm pretty sure that means it's time for me to loose weight. Here's Me and Caroline at LuLu's. I had to wipe off my lap after she sat in it because she had made a slide out of a sand pile in the beach area before we ate and still had a little sand on her bottom.

We took family pictures tonight on the beach...I'm pretty sickened by how fat I look next to all the skinny mini's in the bunch. Look! Gretchen made the Picture!!
We played putt putt tonight, I'll show pictures of it later. This has been a great extended weekend at Gulf Shores with the girls. I hope we can make this a yearly trip. One day when we're all grown up with kids of our own, maybe we'll still be making the yearly trip to Gulf Shores without the husbands... Now all that's left to do is drive home! Hope we make it in under 12 hours this time!!

I hadn't seen the pictures. They are all so good. You need to get a print made for your daddy's desk of you, the sisters and your mom. That was such a great picture of all of you. Wish I had been there with my girls. Maybe next year. Love ya.
