Orange Beach, AL 2010

We spent a week at the beach in June> My dear friend, Nikki, got married on the 26th and I was so happy to be a part of her special day! Shannon and Betsy came from Tuscaloosa. Nikki was a beautiful bride...it was a perfect day!

cake time


the cake was beautiful



the ceremony was at the Gulf Shores State Park and was beautiful but HOT!!!!!




Me and Adella





waiting on ceremony to start
During the ceremony a guy driving a tractor pulling port-a-pottys drove right by between the ceremony and the ocean. It was hillarious! The preacher stopped the ceremony and we all waved to the tractor driver. He never even saw us! I'm so glad Nikki could laugh about it!






Some pics from our wonderful week









hunting sand crabs is one of our favorite things to do
Sydney built "Fuzzy" and John Evan built "Buster"







Alligator Alley is also a favorite




















There was a fountain at Phoenix 6 where we stayed and the kids had to throw pennies in it everytime we got home from somewhere.





























































We didn't have many problems with the oil. The water and sand were pretty clear most of the time-expect one night the oil was REAL bad. It was SO sad.
