Connor's blog: Beach Vacation

In early June we went to Orange Beach, Alabama for a week long vacation with our friends the Bohannan's. We had an absolute wonderful time! The weather was perfect, our condo was awesome (right on the beach with tons of kids stuff), food was incredible and as always spending time with our friends was a blast!
We've taken lots of trips with Brad and Arita as couples but this was the first family trip. It was also our first long road trip with Connor. We had so much fun, hopefully this can become an annual event-
On the road- Connor playing with his piano just outside of Rolla-

Daddy, working on the way there- (really, he was working and not talking to Brad in this picture at least)-

Breakfast at IHOP (Connor and Mommy's favorite)-

A little nap as we go through Mobile-

And we're at the beach- yea!

Connor LOVED the beach! He woke up every morning asking to go and when he got tired of the sand and waves then he wanted to go to the blue water (pools) and get in the nice pool (hot tubs)-

Sand fight?

Connor found someone's cheap little beaded toy bracelet by the pool. It fell apart and he played with the beads for an hour and loved it-

Lunch at Lambert's. I know- we are from Missouri and we had lunch at Lambert's in Alabama. Weird?!? This was Colin's first Lambert's experience- nice salad!
