Gracie and Lily

Here are some of Gracie and Lily throughout the week. It might be hard to tell at times but they truly love each other.

Pontoon Boat

For the first time we spent the last day of our vacation on a Pontoon Boat. We rented the boat and ventured out into the back bay. We also rented a jet ski. Gracie loved going for rides. We also stopped at a little beach. The day would have been perfect except for the pesky jellyfish that kept surrounding us. I told everyone of the cure I learned from Friends but no one was willing to try it.

Lamberts

Our trip wouldn't be complete without our trip to Lamberts home of the throwed rolls. It is a fun family restaurant with excellent hamburger steaks. It has become a tradition to take pictures of Gracie on this wagon outside of the restaurant. I almost cried when I saw how big she is now compared to last year's pictures.

Crabbing

When we go to the beach there is a familar sight every evening. You see kids with flashlights, nets, and buckets. And you also see adults running around to catch the little creatures called sand crabs. This was the first year we ventured out for this activity. Gracie was most interested in playing in the sand while we searched for the crabs. We caught some tiny ones and were calling it a night. On the way back Gracie shouts "there it is". We saw a huge crab. After many attempts we caught it and placed it in the bucket. The entire time Gracie stood giggling and pointing at her two crazy parents.

Gulfshores 2007

We took our annual trip to Gulfshores at the end of July. Gracie loved the beach. Everyday she wanted to go to "my beach" as she called it and build castles. She also loved that she was able to go in the pool and swim by herself.
