The Meeces: Fall Break in Orange Beach

We took a last minute trip with Gigi to Orange Beach for a few days over Fall Break! We waited until a few days before we planned to go to see how the weather would be and decided to give it a try. I had never been to the gulf in October, and it was beautiful! Gorgeous cool beach weather, and perfect water and waves. Maybe a little cold for Tyler's taste, but the girls didn't mind! They did pretty well all week! Skylar made it known when she was tired of the beach ;), she preferred to hang out by the pool and hot tub and talk to everyone. She met some new favorite people, Dianne and Alex, that she loved to talk to everyday. And Savannah met a little friend, Kate, on the beach too. They got to play together a couple days...

All smiles on the way down...

Our first view from our condo when we got checked in. Gorgeous! I spent the rest of our time there being obsessed with this view :) ...

We had to go straight out and put our feet in the water!

Ty worked for 12 days straight before our trip, and was so excited for a few days of "vacation"!

Back at the condo and getting all settled. Our latest and greatest sleeping apparatus for Sky- a giant black pod tent! They were pretty amused by it :) ...

All ready for bed in the tent! Tucking Sky in...

She did good! But of course started early :) Which meant we got to see this amazing sunrise...

View to the East off our balcony...

View to the North...

Breakfast on the deck...

Our first day the water was crystal clear, the prettiest I've ever seen it look in the gulf...

Skylar laughing and laughing at Savannah doing this...

Just being her usual, wild self...

We went to Lulus for dinner...a really fun, kid friendly place with a huge ropes course and big sandpit to play in.

Luckily there were alot of fun things to do because we had to wait 1.5 hours...in October!?

Almost 8:00 and just sitting down to dinner...But we had a great view on the water!...

Another early morning and breakfast with a view :) ...

Cute squinty mermaid in the sand...

Savannah and Kate...

We had dinner at another cool spot The Gulf... An outdoor "food truck" type restaurant and hang out made out of containers...

So lucky with this beautiful weather!...

Savannah channeling her inner Beyonce..."All my single ladies" ;) ...

Giant jellyfish someone fished out of the water...

Family pics on the beach...

And some souvenir shopping...Savannah picked herself a stuffed turtle with sparkly eyes, and Sky picked a pretty plastic mermaid that unfortunately only lasted about a day...
