Beach trip with Nana and Grandpa





























We spent Memorial Day weekend and week at Orange Beach with Nana and Grandpa and all of our Stowe cousins. We arrived on Saturday, unpacked, and headed straight to the beach. Jane Gray and Charlie ran right into the waves, but Meg refused to even set a toe in the water. She much preferred to play in the sand with Ella (she hugged on Ella all week!). The week was sunny and fun-filled. We played at the beach (snacked, built sand castles, chased birds, flew kites, played football, boogie-boarded, hunted for seashells and swam - even swimming with two stingrays!), swam in the pool, went crabbing with Uncle Jay and his girls (caught 8 crabs and several fish), caught sandcrabs, played putt-putt, won a few hermit crab races at Calypso Joe's, and enjoyed a dolphin cruise. We were sad to say good-bye to the beach. It was a fun, and exhausting, week!
