Orange Beach 2010

Last Wednesday, Eddie and I took our sweet boys to Orange Beach, AL. We had a fabulous time. Our boys did awesome on the drive there and back and we all very much enjoyed the beach. Both sets of our parents and my nephew, Cash, met us when down there. It was definitely nice having extra help and sharing their first vacation with them!


There are lots of pictures below, which is not even close to what was actually snapped :). Enjoy!


The boys helped me pack on Monday and Tuesday. Let's just say I wondered if we would make it through the week after Will's meltdown!


This was the first time my precious boys got to the see the beach. Will could not contain himself; he squealed and was overwhelmed with excitement. Carter was very excited, as well. We will never forget the looks on their faces!

They were not interested in a photo shoot. I was not able to get a picture of their first time on the beach. Eddie and I had our hands full chasing them around!

Papaw and Nana Chittom arrived later that night. Will stuck to his papaw like glue the rest of the trip, for the most part.

Papaw, Mamaw and Cash arrived the next day. Cash and Will admiring the view.

We have nicknamed our little Cash the Coppertone baby! He had a ball and loved the beach, as well!

The sand was some sort of fun for these three.

One day, when my boys were napping and my mom and Cash went to the pool, I was able to lay on the beach all alone. Let's just say that hour of peace was nice :)!

Then this sweet little guy came down and wanted me to jump waves with him. It was a lot of fun!

One day when it was cloudy and rainy, we headed shopping and went to the Track when it cleared. Will and Cash enjoyed go carts, rides and bumper boats. Will's favorite was the swings. It was fun!

Here are some pictures taken before dinner one night.

All 3 little guys loved the balcony. I always loved them as a child, as well.

Sweet sugar from daddy. I love the hear Carter bug smack at us when he wants a kiss!

My adorable baby boy... he was saying "cheese".

Will the thrill :)

Saturday was our last morning at the beach. It looked pretty nasty out, but we still went out to play

Will following the leader. Notice the difference in skin color... it reminds of me and Amy as kids.

Carter was not far behind. He was taking it all in!

Saturday was also a VERY special day; my mom's birthday :)! We played on the beach, shopped and enjoy great food . We love you so much, Mom... happy birthday to one of the best in the world!

Daddy finally decided to come down and enjoy the fun

Will running from the water. He would run down and when a wave would come he would take off. I was extremely excited that he loved the ocean!

We can't wait to plan our next vacation :)! Have a great week, everyone!
