We began our first morning in the Gulf Shores by exploring the beach. This was a first for Samuel (& for Lucas of course). Nathan has been to beaches a few times, and Emma has once a couple of years ago. They were so full of excitement! It was a beautiful day!
Samuel figuring out how to walk in the sand
This is our condo. Brian & Lucas were on our balcony (Brian on the phone talking to me and Lucas trying to grab the phone from him):
Lucas was very curious about the sand and the water. Here's a short slideshow of his first moments on the beach:
Nathan, read to ride the waves!
Samuel was in about 2 inches of water for just a minute when the tide caused him to lose his balance. After that he preferred to just play in the sand (or in special "puddles" we made for him).
We swam in one of the pools that day as well and went back to the beach again in the evening. The fun came to an abrupt halt when Nathan got stung by a jelly fish! He had stings on his face/neck, arm, side/stomach and his ankle. It looked much better the next day but was still tender:
The evening did end on a nice note though... gotta love the sunset that we could see to on one side, and the moonrise on the other side at the very same time.
