In mid-August, we were able to make our annual trip to Orange Beach albeit shorter than usual. Regardless, we had a wonderful time! On the way, we stopped at our usual picnic spot at Clarkco State Park near Meridian. They have added a sprinkler park which was nice! On the first day, Lily was not happy about the beach, at all. She screamed and cried when she touched the sand. After it got in her mouth, she was really livid. On day two, she could not get enough of it! Ava really enjoyed it, except for the enormous jellyfish that were washed up on the beach. The pools were a big hit for her! Bella was content and laid back, as always. She took a few naps on the beach! Mimi was able to join us for most of the trip. It was a very relaxing trip. Brent and I even made it out to Louisiana Lagniappe by ourselves. I am already daydreaming about next year's trip!
