Beach: Day 5

Our last day at the beach was Blake's 31st birthday!

After breakfast we went shopping at the outlet mall. We bought a few things at the Carter's outlet for Sawyer & Blake got some new lenses for his sunglasses at the Oakley store. We went back to The Original Oyster House for lunch - they had THE BEST clam chowder & gumbo! If we had known how good this place was, we probably would have eaten there every day!

 We spent one last afternoon by the pool before getting ready to go to LuLu's for dinner. It was the most fun restaurant we went the entire trip. A lot of SEC football fans were in Gulf Shores for SEC Beachfest so we all wore red, white & Razorback to dinner. 

While we were eating, a moment happened that I would give ANYTHING to have on camera. Sawyer was sitting in the high chair eating & an older man at the table behind us turned around to him and said "Say Roll Tide". In an instant, Sawyer's bottom lip curled out, his chin wrinkled & he let out the most pitiful cry I've ever heard. All Blake & I could do was say "It's okay, It's okay, you don't have to say it. Say Woo Pig Sooie". It really was so funny because he has not ever been shy or afraid of strangers talking to him. 

Sawyer started feeling bad & running fever that night (you can see his little rosy cheeks in the picture of he & Blake above) so after one last crawl in the sand at LuLu's we went back to the hotel & crashed to rest up for the long drive home.



One final wave to the baby :)

 

We had a wonderful, amazing first family vacation & I can't wait until next year!!
