We made it!

Well we made it to Gulf Shores yesterday in about record time! HA! We left the house at 7:30 and pulled into our beach house about 4:30. During this time we stopped at Priester's Pecans (OF COURSE!), Cracker Barrel, a gas station, a rest area, and a fruit stand. Olivia was so well behaved, I couldn't believe it! She read books, watched a Thomas the Train movie, and played with a magnet board that "Maw-Maw" got her. She also slept for about an hour and a half. Yay Olivia! Way to go!

When we got to our beach house, we took her out on the beach, but she did NOT want to touch the sand or the water and she said it was "COLD". Cousin Mary made Shrimp Gumbo for supper and it was DELICIOUS! I think Ben ate about 4 bowls. HA :) They have installed a touch screen music player and the speakers are all through the house so after O went to bed, Ben turned on music and I got in the hot tub and Ben put his feet in. With the ocean in the background, it was WONDERFUL! We are definitely getting a hot tub when we buy a house.

This morning, Olivia got to hang out with cousin Thomas and then we went to lunch at Hazel's :) Ben can't wait for DeSoto's night (Wednesday) and Original Oyster House (Saturday)! We also went down and played on the beach but O said it was "dirty". HAHA! She didn't really want to touch the sand and she was scared of the water... hopefully if we go to the beach in May, she won't still be scared of it!

I forgot my camera cord so no pictures until we get home but I've already taken 150! Wow!

Also, Beh-ba is on her way so O's getting excited! We love Thanksgiving!!
