We had such a blast today. The oil stayed away, the waves were huge, and two kids and two mamas ’bout near wore themselves out playing at the beach.
Not to mention that, thanks to the all the sand, I feel more exfoliated than I have in ages.
We were up bright and early this morning, and if you’re doubting the “bright” part, just look at the sunlight streaming in through the window.
And I tried – REALLY, I TRIED – to take some pictures, but it was a just a wee bit humid and hazy outside.
JUST A BIT.
Anyway, we finished off our day with some pool time and some fried shrimp (never a bad thing), and now the children are sleeping and the grown-ups are watching “The Next Food Network Star.”
And also occasionally eating scoops of cookie dough during commercial breaks.
Happy Monday, y’all!
LOL, now you know my challenge everytime I try to take garden photos outside for my other blog! I was trying to catch this dragonfly outside today and I must’ve wiped the viewfinder and lens a dozen times.
Have a great time and thanks again for coming down to vacation on The Gulf Coast!!
I agree…fried shrimp is never a bad thing!
Happy Beach Week!
Oh! Hooray! Keep having happy!
Happy Monday to you, Sophie! I am so glad you are enjoying your trip to the beach. I will be making my first trip to Sonic today. Hoping it lives up to all the hype!
Blessings to you…
Wow! It’s so good to see that things are looking good for your vacation. Enjoy!
Sounds like a perfect day!!! Good friends, good food, and good reality tv – what could be better?? Enjoy some of that sunshine for me!

Soooo fun!! Glad ya’ll are having a blast!! :)
Glad you are having a great time!
Cookie dough and the beach. Doesn’t get much better than that.
I always have to take Pringles with me down by the water. The little top keeps the sand and water out. Not that they last that long.
Hey! Love it! I’m jealous that you’re at the beach! I did, however, discover a way to wake up happy even if I’m stuck here: http://www.livewithflair.blogspot.com/ Your blog helps, too!
I’m glad y’all had fun on an oil-less beach!! We weren’t so lucky…the oil beat us to Gulf Shores by about 12 hours. :(
There is nothing, nothing, nothing!!!! more fun than the beach. Hope y’all have a great week.
What movies did you choose?!
We just left Gulf Shores – there is oil, and my heart is breaking!!!!!
Yahoo! So glad the oil stayed away!!!!
I want Aria to win! She was the only one who seemed prepared with a point of view and could be herself in front of the camera. I LOVE that show. Bring on Top Chef too. Enjoy yourself!
Sounds like my kinda day! praying for you all. thanks for doing life with all of us!! God bless.
Fried shrimp and the beach sound so good right now.
It’s all about Aarti on TNFNS. Could she be any cuter with that accent??
