Orange Beach Baby

A family trip to the beach!

Just what we needed...a little break from everyday life (ie: work).

We headed to Orange Beach, AL.

It was beautiful. The weather was perfect.

We just wished we had of stayed longer.

Madelyn got her toes in the sand and ocean. 

She loved wiggling her toes and fingers in the sand.

She has been to the beach before, but this time she was much more observant.

She had her first dip in the pool.

A little scary, by the faces she made.

If we sat her in the shallow end for babies she loved it and just watched everybody.

(I'm sure this helped her feel more secure and reminded her of bath time because she could sit in it.)

I tried walking her around in the water with me and placing her in a baby float. 

Both of these made her a little nervous. 

We visited the little zoo there.

It was nicknamed "The Little Zoo that Could".

Madelyn enjoyed looking at everything...not sure how much of the animals she really saw, but by the end she was asleep with her little head resting on my shoulder.

All in all a very nice trip.
