Orange Beach, Alabama

Since the beach is only three hours away I decided to take the kids for a quick trip. We just stayed for one night and what I had in mind was beautiful weather and the kids playing around on a beautiful beach. Weeelllll, what we got was a little different...

Torrential downpours on the drive there and on the drive home...

But ta-da! 

The beach really was beautiful and we caught a break in the storms...

Viv happily boogie boarding

...until that dang jellyfish found her...

(she actually posed for this pic...the sobbing had stopped by this time)

...a vinegar soaked rag and shaving cream (who knew?!) did the trick...

Yowzer, though!!

Thankfully it was Viv though - the boys never would've survived this! 

We did manage to get some pool time in, had a great dinner 

and watched a lightning storm on the beach...

We'll be back, I'm sure. 

Fingers crossed for no rain or jellyfish next time though!
