Here’s a post to chronicle the last days we spent at the beach.

Father took the older kids to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab and Estuarium while I stayed home with the little ones (to give everyone a break). They parked and rode over on the ferry and then walked to the lab. There are many aquariums with local sea life and outside us a large tank of rays that you can pet. There is also a living marsh boardwalk  but they didn’t do that this time. 

We went to dinner at Tacky Jacks in Gulf Shores with Father’s mother. It’s well named! I took some pictures of the kids afterward around the dock they have in back. It’s right on the intracoastal waterway and the seagulls expect feeding.

Here are some pictures from the last evening at the beach:

I netted a small fish quite by accident.

And here are some pictures from the drive home:
