MORE ORANGE BEACH PHOTOS

Jackson, Julie and Bayley enjoying the last full day of beach fun.

Bay and Joe spent the last full day on the beach doing some serious shell hunting.

Jax had such a great time. He did get too much sun and so we had to add a t-shirt for more sun protection. That did the trick and he could play all he wanted.

Bay and Jackson were digging in a hole to make it even bigger. Oh, the things that entertain young boys. As you can see, it was a really deep hole.

LOVING LULU'S

Hangin' with my guys.

"Me and my sweetheart!"

LULU'S AT HOMEPORT MARINA

One of our favorite places to go for an evening of both entertainment and dinner is LuLu's at Homeport Marina. If you've been there then you know what I am talkin' bout. It is like walking into a constant vacation beach party. We made our first visit last spring when there were few people, so we didn't wait for too long. This year we had about 1 1/2 hrs to pass waiting for our table. Luckily there are plenty of things to see and do while waiting. I think you can tell from the photos that ALL of us had a great time. Oh BTW, LuLu's owner is Jimmy Buffet's sister so that gives you an idea of the atmosphere...very "laid back beach life".

Jackson and I enjoying some chips, salsa, a slushie and a soda. He's my bud!!

At dinner Bay was goofing around and so Joe followed suit.

Jackson and Bayley were good sports, although they grew tired of posing for me.

The call of the neon sign......

FISHING EXCURSION IN THE GULF OF MEXICO

One of the reasons I really wanted every one's schedules to work together for this trip is that Joe wanted to take his Dad on a fishing excursion in the gulf. Knowing how much his Dad likes to fish, Joe wanted to share this experience with his Dad. Bay went along and did quite a bit a fishing as well. The fishing excursion was Larry's Father's Day gift from Joe and Jacque. I think it was a success!

Here is Larry, Joe and Bay standing under the sign along with their "catch of the day". Larry even caught a special fish called a trigger. The crew said it was the best to eat.

Bay reeling in the big one.

VACATION, VACATION, VACATION

Jackson and Bayley outside of one of the souvenir shops.

If you look under the lowest red umbrella, you'll see the boys showing a jelly fish to some onlookers.

Jackson relaxing in the shade and half covered in sand.

This is how I spent most of my time on the beach. The sun was great, but quite alot for a prenant lady so I just sat under the umbrella and drank tons of water and gatorade.

MINI GOLFING IN GULF SHORES

Bay and I getting ready to tee off while golfing at the Track. Yes, I golfed too.

Bay is getting so long and lanky...oh, how he's growing.

Joe and Julie mini golfing, yeah Joe won...surprised?

Three cool Rinehart dudes, soon to be four.

MORE VACATION PHOTOS!!

Reagan and Jackson patiently waiting for our table at Doc's Seafood.

If you look closely you will see a dark area in the upper mid to left area of the orange bucket. Guess what it is...a jelly fish! That was second one caught in two days. Just the day before some older boys had caught one and shown our boys. Of course when my boys (Joe included) found one, they had to put it in a bucket as well. Yes, there was no harm to the jelly fish and it was returned to the gulf waters....thank goodness! That was not becoming another pet!

My pre-teen baby, Bay!
