Shrimp Festival 2011

We left Thursday afternoon and headed to Gulf Shores, AL, for the Shrimp Festival. There was so much fun kids stuff set up on the beach, so that is where we spent most of Friday morning! Thanks DeeDee and Da for a fun time...Enjoy all of the pictures!

Big bouncy things and blow up slides set up ON THE BEACH...FUN!

I do believe this thing is supposed to be a shrimp...

The kids area had yummy FREE snowcones and FREE popcorn...Woohoo!

Bubbles...

A little putting with Dad...

Making a t-shirt...

Meet the newest Junior Marine Police Officer....Me!

Build a Bear...

Fun in the Sun...

We found a tractor...

Tractor + Beach = Happy Kid!

Daddy loved playing with me in the water...

I eventually destroyed someone's sand castle...

The water was so clear and absolutely beautiful! It is NEVER this pretty in the summertime....

I played so hard...

Uncle Philip picked a fun place for us to eat out Friday night....

While waiting to eat at Tacky Jacks, I enjoyed playing in more sand!

More Fun in the Sun...

Da and I with all my cars and trucks...

Lunch at Sea and Suds is always yummy...

One Happy Kid.

Touching a jellyfish...

Cool!

Last Night at Beach...

A local church sat up all kind of fun things for the kiddos at our campground.

And, it was all FREE! Yummy snow cones, popcorn and hotdogs. Too bad we had plans to head to The Track before we realized all this was going on...

The moment I had been waiting for....THE TRACK!

My favorite ride...the train!

I was even big enough to ride the planes this time...

Ferris Wheel!

Daddy and I had a lot of fun on the bumper boats!

My last ride at The Track...

Mommy and I at Zeke's after supper at Wolf Bay Lodge. We really didn't want to come back home!

This was my comfy cot that I slept on!

Cow Train

Guess there is a first time for everything. I don't think you can say you have lived life to the fullest unless you have been pulled behind a mule on a cow train. I do believe we will be making another trip back to Fiddlin' Rooster Farm before the season is up...Loads of fun! Enjoy the video.

Fiddlin' Rooster Farm

DOUBLE CLICK ON THE COLLAGE TO MAKE IT BIGGER UNTIL I CAN FIGURE SOMETHING ELSE OUT THAT WILL WORK BETTER...
Until I have the time to play around with a different collage program on the computer, or get a lesson from another blogger friend, or upload a gazillion pics, this tiny collage will have to do. I promise to work on it at some point in the next couple of days. We had a nice, long weekend, and as you can see had a wonderful time at the farm. Tanner and his friend Austin went non-stop for 3 hours we were there Saturday. I know this is really small and I promise to figure something out when I have more time, or when I am relaxing at the beach this weekend! Until then, get your eyeglasses out and enjoy....

Thank Goodness...

Tanner had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Williams yesterday afternoon. This was from his minor outpatient surgery he had last month. All looked great and it looks like Tanner is squared away at the urologist! We are so thankful for all of the nurses and doctors at LeBonheur Pediatric Urology. They have once again proven themselves to be wonderful. So, yes, we have Tanner out of there, but Baby Brother (No, we still don't have a name, other than Lightning McQueen...) will go when he is 2 weeks old for a routine VCUG to see if he has any urinary reflux problems. Thanks to all of you that have prayed for us as we traveled to and from Memphis and for Tanner's specific healing of these urinary issues. God is good and we are so thankful to be within a short drive of LeBonheur Children's Hospital. As you can see, tonight I played a little catch up...we now have Internet at the rent house:)
