The Beach: Day 3 &4

Each day in Orange Beach started out with breakfast in the hotel lobby. Sawyer put on a good show each morning for the other guest. He wakes up in the best moods & would just talk & scream the whole time. There were lots of elderly couples there that just loved him to pieces. I always dressed in him in an Arkansas Razorback onesie or shirt to razz the locals...guess that's coming back to haunt me huh?!
After breakfast on day 3, we went to Wal-Mart for a few grocery items & went to one of the surf shop's to get a beach umbrella. When we got back to the hotel, we changed into our swimsuits & headed out to the beach! Sawyer really loved crawling in the sand...

 ...and checking out the girls...

...and watching the waves!

As much as we loved being on the beach, trying to keep this guy in the shade & keep him from eating too much sand was stressful!

We only stayed out there about an hour or so before heading to the pool.

The beach-entry pool was super nice for Sawyer because he could sit, stand & splash in the shallow water! We loved it & I need every body's help convincing Blake we need a pool at home ;)
For dinner on day 3 we went to Lambert's - Saw man wasn't so sure about those giant rolls!

On day 4 we opted to skip beach time & drove over to Pensacola to the air museum at the Air Force Base.

 We ate lunch at the hotel then spent the afternoon at the pool.

That evening before going to dinner at The Original Oyster House, we went to the beach to take some family pictures! We took our tri-pod to take our own pictures. Blake would set the self timer on the camera then run to get in the shot with us & Sawyer thought watching his daddy run in the sand was so funny that he would just laugh at stare at him rather than the camera!

We did that several times then I thought I should give it a try...

Still didn't work! After a while, a sweet lady (who turned out to be an actual photographer) walked out & said she had been watching us from the balcony & offered to take some pictures for us!

 

One more day to come!
