Sunday In Gulf Shores

 My eyes popped open at 5:00 am, exactly as if I as home but I'm on vacation. The coffee was started and then I tried to be quiet. When Abe and Zion awoke they both wanted breakfast at the same time. 

The girls started waking up around 6:30 am and after breakfast they took off for walk and by the time they made it back they had walked a little over 8 miles. They went all the way to Chad's house. Amy and I decided to walk to mom's condo for church. I went to grab my tennis shoes and below are the shoes I brought. 

Sadly the only shoes packed were two left shoes. They don't even match. Well good thing crocks are in fashion here.  We walked the road way to mom's and all was fine except mom has no air conditioning. Her air conditioner buried in the sand. Below is the view from mom's balcony. 

We got to listen and watch on Facebook live Gregg Rumbold giving the message. At the break we headed over to Beth's to borrow tools to start digging out the heavy sand. Below is Joan's van under mom's condo. The sand was thick and heavy.

We checked out  Beth's back yard which was missing a lot of sand. Berlica tried out the hammock.

Thankfully Beth had exactly what was needed in her storage closet. 

We started hiking back but took a detour over to see Lani Kai's pool area.

The divider between the adult pool and the family pool had broken off and blown away.

 We went back to Taunya's condo to watch Craig Stickling give the second service.  Joan and the kids worked hard today shoveling this afternoon.  We relaxed by the pool then went to the sand behind Taunya's condo. Abe and Zion had fun playing with toys from the neighbor.

This lone seagull flew over us but left when we had no food to throw.

The neighbor below brought all those toys out for the kids to play with.

Next he brought chairs and an umbrella for us to sit comfortably as we watched the kids. His little dog came over to visit also.

We had everyone from mom's condo over for dinner tonight. We were pretty packed but had a place for everyone.

After dinner we played games. Dessert was served later.

Another beautiful day here in Gulf Shores. Hot but beautiful.
