the adventure begins....

We packed up the car this morning and headed out on our annual family beach trip! We have all been eagerly anticipating the trip, and it is so exciting that it is finally here.

David decided he wanted to make the ride there a little more fun for the kids so we decided to take the ferry from Dauphin Island to Ft. Morgan....

One of the ferries was out of service (unfortunately they do not update their website with this info) and so we had a little time to kill waiting for our ride...

The kids found hundreds of crabs under the pier....



posed for pictures...




learned about wildlife with their Dad...





posed for more pictures....

...and then FINALLY enjoyed our short ferry ride to Ft. Morgan. It was worth the wait!!



Mom, Dad, David and I just finished eating some awesome steaks that David grilled and are about to head to bed (we are such partiers around here!)..... and we are looking forward to Monique, Jared, and Erinn arriving tomorrow!
We are so grateful for time with family at the beach!
