We got to Orange Beach Friday afternoon and the kids ate a quick bite in the condo before we headed down to the shore.
Can you tell how excited they are?
This is Matthew's first ever time to have his toes in the sand. At first he was a little hesitant but he loved it! He said it was 'soft'!
Madeline is ready to scour the beach for shells. She's got her bucket, shovels and a net.
Our first day, there were TONS of jellyfish washing up on the beach! They were everywhere!
Collecting shells.
She did such a thorough job of collecting everything she came across that we even ended up with broken wood and some sort of sand crystallized poop in our bucket! Yuck!
Matthew was fearless about the water so we had to keep him close by.
This is one of my favorites.
He liked to dig up sand and fling it back into the water.
Sissy got her bucket very full of shells, they were everywhere!
"Toes in the water, toes in the sand...."
There were sooo many jellyfish, people were digging these holes along the beach and collecting them inside. Matthew says "Don't touch the jellyfish!!" He was fascinated!
This big hole was a great source of entertainment.
As written on Madeline's knee on the car ride down "I love the beach".
After the beach, we changed into swimsuits and went to the pool. Another first for Matthew. He LOVED it!
Madeline was like a little fish this time. She has gotten the hang of swimming and would stay in the pool all day if she could.
After swimming we went to our traditional ice cream parlor, Scoops. 
And yes, we did take Matthew there in a shirt, but due to poor planning on my part it was a white shirt so Jeff suggested we take it off while he ate his chocolate ice cream. =)
