The Wharf

First thing's first. Congrats to our superstar for making his first honest to goodness goal yesterday. Jackson actually took the ball away from the other team, turned it around, dribbled down the field and scored a goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllll. Yeah! This is quite a huge accomplishment for our, I'd rather be drawing or swinging or picking daisies son. Good job buddy. This is right after his goal when I told him he could have Old McDonalds for dinner. And now our fantastically wonderful Orange Beach vacation-backwards!
Here we are loading up for the long air conditionerless car ride home. Jackson and Linley decided they wanted to leave in style so they rode to the car.

All of the kids loved the slushes and smoothies we got all weekend. Here Linley is offering some to Gee.

But keeping this all to herself:) Really I could just eat her up-she is sooooo stinking adorable. Darrell and I often marvel at the fact that we made such beautiful children.

Here are more slushies for the kids. We ended up buying another one, because one to share and red stuff running down both James and Linley's chests was clearly not enough.

So the condo was awesome and had great pools: kiddie pool, water slides, lazy river, wave pool and more-like this. I wish I had a video of Darrell doing this one.

I know you can't even see her eyes, but she just had to have a hat on her head.

Jackson spent most of every day in the wave pool squealing with delight.

This is where the younguns hung out. Don't they look like they own the place. I would hate to meet the two of them on a kiddie slide before naptime.

Yep, still adorable and yet another hat. I didn't mind her sporting the Tennessee hat that day since there were some LSU folks hanging around.

Oh, and the Wharf also had a 112 ft Ferris Wheel-the tallest in the Southeast. I rode this too many times.

My brother surprised all the moms with delivered flowers-they were beautiful and most of mine made it home. What a treat to look at these everyday.

And just b/c I LOVE him so very much and can't get enough of this video. This one is for you babe. Please keep watching to the end-that's the funny part. Sorry I don't know how to rotate it.
