Our buddy

This week (actually last of August) has been a hard week for our family. We lost our little buddy, Otie ba goatie. He has been a part of our family for over 10 years and we will miss him terribly.

Activities at the beach

Just some random pictures from the beach that I want included in my "journal". These are mainly activities we played. This was at the Estauriaum. We only went to the "petting" tank this time. The kids love to see the stingrays and pet them and sometimes there are hammerhead sharks in the tanks.

We drove into Mobile to go to the Exploreum

Looking for clues to a murder mystery

Seeing how the body works

 Watching the Imax movie about sharks

 Giant light up board

 Legos galore

 Even a place for little ones

We even managed a little school work

 

 

5 years

Awwwww, sigh. We have been going to Dauphin Island now for 5 years. We had the best time.....so relaxing, so fun, so soothing at least to me. There is something that draws me to the beach. I don't particularly like getting in the water; I just like sitting on the beach and listening to the waves. And the boys have grown up going to the beach. In fact, Isaiah thinks this is Jenny's other house.
