Gulf Shores Day 3

We awoke to another morning of rain but the promise of sunshine for the afternoon. The rain stopped before breakfast and the volley ball players come out quickly.
 Diane, Beth and I took a long walk on the beach. A fisherman had just pulled up this shark.
 A bunch of them went ghost shrimping to get bait for tonight's fishing expedition. Sarah Reinhard brought one back for a picture.
Joan, Hannah, Faith and Mackenson were busy building a big sand castle on the beach.
The football players all took a swim but got out before I got down with the camera. The sunshine was good and the waves were great.



 Luke had fun playing on the beach with Zero
 Mackenson and Faith were finding seashells to decorate their castle.
 Logan, Ryan and Tyler came back from the hot tub to cool off in the waves.


 The sand castle was getting seats inside for Faith and Makenson


 Tim was the only one not enjoying the beach, he was busy refinishing mom's kitchen table out on the deck with Nancy and mom supervising.
 Berlica had just taken a nap and Sarah was cuddling with her as she woke up.
 We had a scare tonight with Molly. She was not in the condo, not on either balcony and we thought she was lost. Mom called and she came trotting up the stairs to the door. Molly knew where she was. Thank goodness she knows where she lives.
 We went to Bahama Bob's for dinner and after dinner over to Beth and Greg's for a campfire. Below Bethany and Bill are trying out the hook and eye game.

 The rest of us were cooking marshmallows over the fire and visiting.
 Nancy was enjoying the swings and hammock.

 Berlica enjoyed the swing
 Dan's son Abram caught this big blue crab right off the dock.
 The fishermen arrived home with their catch of the evening. A nice bunch of fresh fish.
Greg got busy filleting them on the new fish cleaning station and they promised to cook them soon. Spark, Rhonda, Mark and Beth Meister arrived from home. Now all of us are here. We are having such a good time we are thinking of making this vacation an annual one.
News from home wasn't all happy. Darcy got her back leg stuck in the couch, maybe for hours. Emma tried to alert Mark around midnight that Darcy was in trouble but Mark doesn't speak dog and thought she had to go to the bathroom so he put her outside. Emma ran to the apartment and whined at the door until Rhoda let her in, then whined to go back outside. Rhoda does speak dog and knew there was a problem at the house. She ran down to the house to rescue poor Darcy but Darcy had injured her leg pretty badly by trying to get it loose.
She was not able to stand by herself. Rhoda was able to get all 189 pounds of her up and outside to relieve herself then slept by her the rest of the night. This morning she had to help her up again but Darcy was able to walk so there may be hope.
