Fall Break 2009: Orange Beach, AL

This is where we were hanging out for fall break.
Weather was chilly when we got there on Saturday, but it slowly warmed up
throughout the week. I have never seen the ocean so calm as it was the first couple of days we were there. No waves at all. Just beautiful.
This is the lazy river area at our condo.
We stayed at the Phoenix West and we will definitely be making a repeat visit.
Such an awesome place to stay.
Ethan was the only brave soul to go down the water slide. The water was like ice.
Ethan only did it once.
Notice everyone on their tube with their bottoms up high out of the water.




The waves started coming back as the week went on.

First time in the sand for Ava...and Ella Kate for that matter.

Lots of digging hours accumulated.

More pics coming!! Stay tuned!

That water was never that calm when I was there. Did you see any jellyfish?

Man, that place looks great! Awesome water slide....my kids would die to slide down that thing. Too bad the water was chilly. That's the pits!
