road trip!

My best friend Kelli and her two kiddos, Hailey and Nathan, were in town visiting this weekend. On Saturday we met up with some friends at Chuck E. Cheese and then headed to Prattville to have dinner with her family. When we were finished with dinner she mentioned how fun it would be if we could go to the beach (the beach fever kicked in after she watched Hannah's 2nd birthday video filled with beach trip pictures!) and so after a short talk, a quick stop to her parents house- it was 8:00 and we were on the road to the BEACH! At 11 p.m. we rolled into Gulf Shores and got a hotel room right on the beach.... ahh, the perfect location!

The kiddos were SO excited and this was actually Hailey and Nathan's first trip to the beach so it made that much more special. They were wide awake at 6:30 the next morning and it was so fun to be able to open the door to the balcony and let them walk out and see the ocean! By 7:00 we were ON the beach playing followed by a trip to the indoor pool for a bit. We were on limited time so we packed in some souvenir shopping and then had lunch at LuLu's and then back on the road we went. It was such a whirlwind trip but definitely a Stephanie and Kelli tradition! We were always up for a fun road trip!

Here's just a couple from yesterday morning :)



They loved sitting on the edge of the pool and splashing with their feet. They would just giggle and giggle. :)
