Last week Morgan and I continued what has become a super fun tradition- beach time with the Worley girls! Again, Grandma opened her home to house us four crazy girls and we were so thankful. We had a great time getting to spend time on the beach, eat yummy food and get to just spend time together. After our crazy summers, it was nice to catch up.

We headed down to the beach on our first day there and found the worst sea weed ever! It had been so long since I have seen that much sea weed in the water. There was a huge storm the night before that churned it all up. But the bright side was that there were huge waves! We brought the boogie board and Emma Kate had a blast! It was so much fun to watch her enjoy the water. But we also had really hard wind that day. We had set up the tent, but I was so afraid it was going to blow away! So at one point Belinda and I had to sit by the poles and hold it down while we ate lunch. Even Morgan helped! But we couldn't take the tent down because it was saving us from the birds! Emma Kate was not happy with the seagulls that were hanging around so Morgan would chase all the birds away that dared to get too close! It was a crazy day on the sand!
Sweet girls ready to play!

The next day we did some shopping and then our afternoon beach time got rained out. When we hit the beach again we did some shell searching. The girls loved finding them! That night we ate at a new restaurant that was on the back bay. We got to watch the boats and then after dinner we fed the fish!

We found some!

Our last day was quite the adventure. We went back to the beach for our final day. The sea weed had let up a bit and I was eager to actually enjoy the water. That was until I got in and felt a sharp pain in my foot. I had to get out of the water to see what had happened because the sea weed was so thick. When I got out all we could see was blood- lots and lots of blood. I knew I couldn't stop it so I had to hobble over to the life guard stand while Belinda tried to keep the girls from seeing my foot and freaking out. Well then the life guards kinda freaked out too when they couldn't get the bleeding to stop. So they had to call in the medical patrol. They told me it was a sting ray! And they wrapped my foot and put me in their truck to ride to my car. We went right by our tent so I had to lay down in the back so the girls couldn't see me! Grandma then took me to not one, but TWO urgent care places because the first one couldn't take my insurance! So a few x-rays, a hot foot bath, an anti-biotic and pain pill later I was ready to go! And while I was at the doctor, Super Belinda wrangled both girls, took down the tent and hauled all our beach stuff back up the boardwalk so Grandma could pick them up! It was crazy crazy crazy! And a first for me!
I know Morgan and I were worn out after our really long trip home. After really bad traffic on the bridge in Mobile, a complete and utter meltdown by Morgan in the bathroom stall in Buckatuuna and a long dinner break in Meredian we finally made it home...8 hours later! Whew! All in all it was a really fun week and I miss them already!
