The rest of the week was spent relaxing on the island. Mom came over on Tuesday afternoon, bearing more groceries since we didn't have a grocery store on the island! Did I mention the 3 mile bridge we had to cross to get there??
Beach bums. Here's a video of some of the antics on the beach. The kids absolutely loved the way the sand squeaked so that's part of this one!
Ike was so pumped to finish the book he was reading!
I took far too many sunrise/sunset pictures. Just scroll on past if you're not interested :)
Dauphin is self-appointed the Sunset Capital of Alabama and I believe it!
One morning I walked all the way out to Pelican Point (took me about an hour to get there) and holy cow so many birds were there! Here's a quick video of the kids boogey boarding followed by birds flying away from the point!
On Thursday we had some chance of rain in the morning so we went to the local estuarium.
The kids (and us!) loved the sting ray area. We were pretty much on our own throughout the entire aquarium so we hung out here for a while.
After the estuarium we went over to Fort Gaines. This fort was super well laid out and had all kinds of information, highly recommend! However the storm had blown over and it felt like it was a million degrees out so we were sweltering!
Dave was our tour guide.
Came back for a dip in the pool to cool off!
Mom and I went down to watch the sun set on the west end of the island that night. It took some maneuvering because there was still a lot of clean up from hurricanes earlier in the season but we made it!
Friday was mom's last day with us so we did a little shopping, walked on the beach some and hung by the pool.
We were supposed to head home on Saturday but decided to stay one more night because why not?
Saturday we did absolutely nothing and Ike spent the day trying to catch crabs. He was very successful!
The boys took one last evening dip in the pool. That was probably Ike's favorite part of vacation. He loves swimming at night!
Last sunset!
