We went to Gulf Shores for our last big trip as a threesome, before Cole arrives.  I wanted Isabella to get to play on the beach this year, since she didn't like the sand so much last year.  This year went much better despite the oil hitting the beach this weekend.

Friday night when we got in, we stopped at the Wharf for dinner and rode the ferris wheel.

We played at the beach for a little while on Saturday and spent a little more time at the pool afterwards.  That night we went to visit Hannah Cate for her birthday party.  Isabella loved all the fun activities, like the bouncey gym, bubbles, and fun toys in the yard.

We also had a great time with our friends and family that were in town.  My dad and John's mom came down and some friends of ours, Michael, Jami, and Connor stayed with us too.
