Chase and I just returned from Gulf Shores yesterday with my mom. Jason is busy with baseball camps and games so we just took off for 5 nights to the beach. Even with the oil spill, the water and beaches were beautiful. Chase was not much on the sand, but I know in the years to come he will like it more. We had a perfect condo and even more perfect view. We basically just hung out, rested, enjoyed each other, and ate a lot! Chase wore his swim vest and loved to jump to us in the pool. He counts "1, 2, 3" for everything. He also really started watching videos on this trip. He made the whole ride fine as long as he had a movie in. He also had his own little bunk room in the condo where he watched Elmo and Barney. As long as it is educational, I don't mind. The little phrases he has started saying are hilarious. "one more time", "Be Nice Mommy", and "Hold You" for hold me are a few. Lots of full sentences, etc too. He is a nutcase and I love every inch of him!
The locals there are really having a hard time with the decrease in tourism. They make their whole years money in just a few months. I would have gone even if the beach was covered in oil, which is it not, only scattered tar balls. This is a place that I love and is like a second home to me. We are going back with Jason's family to Ft. Morgan in 2 weeks. I can't wait to get back the the beach!! Hope all is having a great summer!
