Dauphin Island for Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving we met my whole family at Dauphin Island ALfor a long weekend. We had talked about doing something like this for about 5 years and have never made it happen. My oldest sister and her family live in GA so it was relatively close to them. We had a great time. We stayed in a house close to the beach and the kids had so much fun playing with their cousins. Josie had never met them and I think she had a lot of fun doing girly stuff.

                                                Josie seeing the ocean for the first time. 
                                                             Daddy and Josie
                         Tyler and his cousin Abbi spent a lot of time digging in the sand. 
                        Wesley loved making and decorating sand castles with sea shells. 
                       Josie running to her cousin Ainsley.  She definatly misses those girls. 

 Eric really wanted to buggy board.  It was pretty darn cold but that didn't keep him from it. 
                                                        The big castle project. 
Tyler and Abbi enjoyed hanging out. 
        Josie, Ainsley and Abbi.  Josie sure didn't lack for attention the whole weekend! 

Dig, Aunt Bonbon, dig,  Aunt Bonnie heard that a lot from Wesely.
