Gulf Shores

Since no one else has jumped in to tell you about our vacation, I will! Here is who went:

Lois & Calvin
Mike & Cindy
Kraig & Jen
JD & Amy
Kevin & Jan
Carl & Stephanie
Drew & Jamie
Caleb & Paula Elle
Steve & Tamie

We were sad because Austin & Paula had to back out when they found out they were pregnant, and then Adam & Laura had to back out too, so we missed them. But we had a great time. We went to Gulf Shores and rented a GORGEOUS home!! It was HUGE! It was 12 bedroom, 14 bath and we had our own pool!!

We got really lucky because just a week before we left, it looked like the hurricane was going to hit Gulf Shores directly, but it turned away. The first couple of days, the beaches were closed because the current was rough, so we just went to the pool instead. Then mid-week the "love bugs" showed up. They were everywhere - especially bad at the pool....so we moved to the beach. The beach was calm by then, so pretty and bug free! Unfortunately many of us passed around a bad cold, but figured it was better to be sick at the beach than sick at home. We had a great time and some are already talking about a return trip next year! Here are a few pictures (my kids are the main subjects - hehe) others will have to post theirs too!
