Orange Beach 2012

Hannah and Mari-Grace on the beach on Day 1.

Keith Sherri, Kelley, and Greg

Nanny and MG in the Ocean ... having a blast !

MG mad at MaMa !!

We saw Santa on the Gulf Shores Fishing Pier.  He stopped to talk to MG.  MG looks scared in this picture, but she was actually so excited ... she kept saying "Santa...Santa...Santa".   She'd put her hands up at her face and just giggle and grin.  It was AWESOME to see her so excited.   Santa did a fabulous job talking to her...very nice, polite, and jolly, even when he is on a beach vacation !

The Gulf Shores Zoo, aka the Little Zoo that Could.   MG got to pet the kangaroo baby.

I got to hold the joey.   He was 6 months old.  So soft and cuddly !

MG loved feeding the deer and the goats !

Eating an grape Icee right before our Dolphin Cruise with the Cold Mil  Fleet !   As usual, it was AWESOME !!!  You not only see dolphins on this cruise, they put on  a show !

Kel Kel, Nanny, and Keith Keith liked their Icee's too !

Kel Kel and Uncle Greg with a VERY excited Mari-Grace on the boat !

Greg and Keith are cousins.   They had a really good time fishing and playing.  So glad that Keith and Sherri got to come with us !

The story of the fish according to MG .... "Throw,  pull (hand motion for reeling in the fish),  FISH !!   WIGGLE (whole body wiggles)!!!  throw( hand motion for throwing something) ... bye bye!!"
Throw ... Greg cast the line.   Pull ... Greg reeled in the fish.   MG saw the fish.   The fish wiggled.  Greg threw the fish back in the ocean.
