Orange Beach, Alabama











Nothing better than morning beach walks

Each morning there were hundreds of jellyfish washed up on shore



We stayed at the Enclave condominium. In the picture we were on the 7th floor far left corner unit. Very nice place!


One of many sand castles created




KK's first try at the game of Sorry. Granmda won. Grandpa put his hands on his face and said "BOO!" really loud. Karson thought that was hilarious. I'm still hearing him say it out of the blue. He will say, "You know what Grandpa Ron says?" "He says BOO!" as KK puts his hands on his cheeks. Too cute!

Alligator Alley!

Alligator farm with over 200 alligators. We watched them feed and then walked around the swamp area and fed them some dried food. It was fenced off with a walking bridge. When we were on our way Karson said he needed his fast shoes so he could have fast feet to run away from them.

(Look closely, she has a new sparkly on her left hand!)


KK thought this was awesome!


The waves came crashing into the shore almost every day. Some days they were not quite so rough, others when the wind was strong were almost too much for Karson to swim in.



Gorgeous to be walking on the beach in the early morning. We collected hundreds of seashells that washed up on the shore

We made friends with the family that "camped out" on the beach with us every day. Their little girl found a starfish that was still soft and wanted to show it to Karson.

We found this race car sand castle while walking along the beach. Cool!
