Spring Break

Our family went to Orange Beach Alabama for Spring Break this year. We had such a great time!!



We all agree that our favorite activity while there was the dolphin cruise!! We've never seen dolphins up close and personal in their natural habitat, so this was just amazing!



The cruise lasted an hour and a half during which two boats took us out into the bay where they then drove side by side to create a large wave between the boats. The dolphins swam along and rode the wave that the boats made.





Back at the beach we had fun hunting for seashells early in the morning.




We also saw some jellyfish that had washed up on shore. They were "Portuguese Man o' War". I'm just glad we didn't encounter any while swimming out in the water!!



We did play out in the water even though the water temperature was still pretty chilly.




Thankfully the condo had an indoor and outdoor pool so we could swim without completely freezing.




We went and did some shopping at the Wharf. We even enjoyed a ride on the ferris wheel!



We tried our hand at catching crab on the beach at night. We cought one tiny little crab. Oh well, at least we tried!



We definately had a great vacation and look forward to going back as soon as possible!

Locks of Love



Today Colleen donated 11 inches of her hair to "Locks of Love"


She was excited to finally be able to donate her hair. She's wanted to do this for quite some time now.

As you can see, she was surprised at first to see just how much hair she donated. We are so proud of her for wanting to help out other kids in need.
