Spring Break - Part 1

We had a great time at the beach on Dauphin Island last week for Spring Break.


We arrived in the evening on Tuesday and had time for a walk on the beach.  The house we rented is the blue one in the background.

Owen got a new bike trailer for the trip.  He is able to join the family on bike rides now.

On Wednesday, it was a bit cloudy.  We explored Fort Gaines on the island.

 

 

After the fort, there was time for sand castles - Rachel's favorite part of the beach trip.

Thursday, we visited the Estuarium.  We all had a great time seeing all of the different creatures they had.

Jellyfish!

Rachel got to pretend she was deep sea fishing.

 

The weather cleared up in the afternoon and we spent a long time at the beach in the beautiful weather.

Rachel worked very hard on her sand castles.

 

Owen also enjoyed playing in the sand and with the sand toys.

We have so many pictures from the week we will have to  break it up into two posts.  Check back soon for the thrilling conclusion of our trip!
