A Little Winter Getaway

This past weekend Chris was a groomsman in one of our friend's weddings. The wedding took place in Fort Morgan so it was a great excuse for us to make a weekend of it. Chris and I have always loved the Gulf Shores/ Ft. Morgan area and we were thrilled to take Brody on his first visit there. I was a little sacered about a three hour car ride. Brody has never been a child that is ok with being in his car seat for any length of time. So on Saturday morning we got up at 3AM and put Brody in his carseat and hit the road. Brody did great and slept all the way to Robertsdale. We stopped at Burger King ate breakfast and got back on the road to find the house were Michael and Noelle's wedding was going to be. After we got to the house we bundled Brody up and took him out to the beach, he loved it! I think that he thought it was one giant sand box. He also loved looking at the birds on the beach and he had a great time collecting shells. I can't wait to take him back when the weather is warmer. We also got to eat at two of our fave places ever to eat Lulu's on the Homeport and Lamberts. Brody did great at both places expecially Lamberts, he even got some from help from Daddy so he could catch a roll. After that everytime the roll guy would come by Brody would hold out his little hands ready to catch one! We also hit the outlets to get Brody some clothes for the summer, we found alot of good deals. Chris got a tool he needed for work and I got a cute shirt from Old Navy and 2 books from the $5 Christian book store. Oh My, Brody loved the bookstore, they had a little kitchen set there and Brody would take the little cooking pot and pretend to fill it up with at the sink and then drink it, then he would let a big AHHHHH and just smile. I love watching how our little fellow is growing and using his imaganation it is so awesome to watch! We also went took Brody into Toys R Us. He loved it, he started playing with a foam sword with Chris and then he took off running at one of the ladies that worked there with the sword yelling, It was so funny, the lady that worked there said that was one of the funniest things she had seen in a long time. I am so thankful that we were able to take this trip and spend time together as a family. We made some wonderful memories that i will treasure forever
