4TH OF JULY FAMILY BEACH BASH!

Last week my whole family headed down for a week at the beach. We always go every year for the 4th of July. So it was a total of 14 of us this year and we had a blast. Let's see...there was my family which included me, Chris and Brady and then my sister's family which was Kelley, Keith, Victoria, and Daniel. And of course my mom and grandmother went as well. We were all in one condo together. Then my Aunt Jessica, Uncle Barry, William, Walton, and his girlfriend Lauren were in another condo. The first day we were there we almost got blown away by a storm that came through. We were all getting our stuff together and heading up to the room because it was looking pretty bad outside and then all of a sudden this wind out of nowhere starting blowing everybody's stuff down the beach. Our tent made it thanks to Keith, Barry, and William. But by the end of the week we looked like we had been ship wrecked. Our tent was being held up by a 2x4, tow strap, bungee cords, zip ties, and some rope. It was rather funny. After that storm all the other days were beautiful. On Friday night we all got together and ate BBQ in teh room and then sat together to watch the Firework Show that Gulf Shores put on. It was awesome and the kids LOVED IT. We left on Saturday the 5th and were so sad to leave, but looking forward to being back at HOME SWEET HOME.
