Our beach house....Island Breeze. 
Ainsleigh found this cute little pink decorative chair in one of the bedrooms. Before we knew it she was running around with it and.....
...of course she tired to sit in it! Can you believe her little bottom
almost fit into it??
The babes in their cool sunglasses. Unfortunately this was the only time they wore them the entire week.
ROLL TIDE....all three kids had Alabama bathing suits.
We went for a walk early one morning and happen to find this log on the beach . The kids thought it was fun to sit on it. Of course Ainsleigh wouldn'tlook at me. She had to feel the log!
The boys!
Ainsleigh got tired on the way back to
the beach house so daddy carried her.
A view of the beach... it was beautiful!
Jackson riding the waves.
He had so much fun in the water until....
WIPEOUT!!!! He swallowed lots of water on this one. Daddy isn't quite sure how he caught this on camera!!
Jackson, Taylor and I took the ferry over to Dolphin Island and drove into Mobile. Here we are on the ferry ride across the bay. Jackson thought it was so cool!
Here is daddy behind the van on the ferry.

We went to visit the Battleship Park which houses the USS Alabama ship.
Jackson and Daddy in front of the "huge cannons". Jackson knows all about the battleship. What he doesn't know, he makes up as he goes!
A view from the front of the USS Alabama.
How would you like to sleep on these

How would you like to sleep on thesefor months at a time??? Yikes!
The boys taking in the view.
Jackson loved playing with these. There was a wheelthat you could turn that would turn the entire section. It was hard work, but he kept doing it.
Shooting yet another gun.
Jackson took this picture of daddy and I.
Daddy and Jackson in the kitchen of a submarine. It was TINY.
Jackson posing in front of an Army tank. He loved the tanks, but kept looking for German tanks. You can thank daddy for him even knowing about German tanks.
After a fun filled day, we are on our way back across the bay to the beach house.
The pelicans were waiting for us to come back!
Oh Ainsleigh! She had on Mimi's beach hat and had been lugging around Mimi's shopping bag. She had put tons of stuff in and out of the bag. Daddy was worried because she immediately saw the bag and knew to put her arms through the handles and onto her shoulder. Women are truly born to shop!!
Mommy and Cooper taking a late afternoon walk on the beach.
Jackson flying his Cars kite.
Daddy always digs a huge hole the first day at the beach. All three kids loved climbing in and out of it all week.
Jackson and Popsy playing in the water. We had three "fishing nets" so they could catch some serious fish. They mainly caught little fish and small sand crabs except for...
...the king crab! Jackson was so excited!!
Ainsleigh in the big hole.
And finally, Cooper digging out of the big hole.
Jackson the fish.
Ainsleigh loved for someone to hold her in the water. Toward the end of the week she would just take off toward the water with no fears.
The Riggs family on the beach.
This is actually a good picture of the three kids. We had to take several to finally get this one.
Mimi, Popsy and the grandkids.
Ainsleigh is so resourceful. She kept trying to take the straw out of the cup with her sandy hands so I put the cup on a chair far away from her. I even thought I halfway hid it behind the towel. Well, I looked over at her and she was leaning over the chair drinking her water. At least she wasn't touching the straw with her hands!
Sweet Cooper...
Ainsleigh chilling out in her chair. She however snuck into it as soon as Cooper got up to get a toy.
He was not amused when he got back! He grabbed her by her bathing suit trying to gether out of the chair!!!
When that didn't seem to work, he hit her on the head. Both of them can be ruthless.
Finally a comprimise. Two chairs for two toddlers!
Sweet Ainsleigh...
Cooper in his cool shades.
Jackson driving a go kart all by himself! He was a very cautious driver though. He always had two hands on the wheel!
We met one of Taylor's high school friends and his 
A very wet Ken, Clark, and Reece Thompson along with Jackson and Taylor after round 1 of the bumper boats. They were brave enough to ride them again before we left!
