Ft. Morgan Day 6: Beach and Fort

How come vacations always fly by?  It is our last day at Gulfshores.  We enjoyed the beach in the morning, fort in the afternoon, and a family photo session in the evening.  (Lots of these pictures were left out in case they come on a Christmas card!) I guess all good things have to come to an end.  Bummer.

Kelsey and Trenton decide to build sandmen instead of snowmen.
  Daddy helps.
Opa found a crab by our tents.  He caught him to release him back into the ocean.
 The crab didn't want to go back to sea, so we let him go in the dunes.
A mile down from our beach house was the old Fort Morgan.  Trenton, Opa and I went to see it.

Looking down below into the courtyard.  It was high and steep, too dangerous for a toddler to roam up here.  He stayed in Opa's arms. 
 Ready, aim, fire!!!
Mushrooms soon became more fun than the cannon.

  1. Love your beach pics! Such great family memories! You're right, beach time is never long enough! Such sweet photos of Trenton and Bennett; I think Bennett favors the Leskoven side of the family. Great family photo on the beach; What a beautiful family; looking forward to that Christmas card!
