Spring Break at the Beach!

We headed south to the Redneck Riviera for spring break. Apparently we didn't feed the kids enough, because they were foraging at the beach.

Is it possible to go to the beach without burying someone?

We went with Diana and Nate Hornsby. He must be the only one without a shirt...

We can't do yardwork or manual labor, but we can dig a huge hole in the beach.

We went to Fort Morgan on the last day of vacation. Fort Morgan is an old fort that guarded the entrance to Mobile Bay from the War of 1812 through WWII. The kids didn't want to go, but ended up loving it. Here's the kids with an old cannon.

Looking over the ramparts across the entrance to Mobile Bay.

Are you sure this thing doesn't work, Dad?

Four little monkeys, sitting on a..... cannon?

Yeeeehaaaa!! Slim Pickens rides again.

Early March:

Colton's favorite birthday present: an iPod Shuffle.

Heyden's Basketball trophy/party.


So it finally snowed. For some of you, snow is a drudgery, but for those of us in Alabama, it's an opportunity that can't be squandered. We were late to church because we had so much fun. Colton thinks he is going to get away with throwing that snowball at me. He didn't.

That's not a snowball, this is a snowball!

Frosty Pearson and his creator.

After church. Apparently this isn't a magic hat...
