Perdido Key Beach



All of the Lawsons made it to Perdido Key Beach for a family vacation! From the wee morning hours (especially for baby Lawson Long and Co.) to the late night hours, our 3 bedroom condo was bustling with activity. Despite a rainy start, we soaked up a lot of sunshine! The kids loved playing in the sand and the ocean with Hannah, Uncle Josh, Uncle Dave, Mr. Randy, Daddy, Me Me, and Pops. Emma and Abby had lots of fun riding go-carts with Daddy and Pops. On Friday night, Pops, MeMe, Uncle Dave, Uncle Josh, Emma, Abby, John Brady, and I went on a crab hunt and we brought in about 20 crabs, ranging from itty bitty to large crabs. Only if I had recorded the squeals and screams and laughter! MeMe says we will be featured on The Deadliest Catch so everyone keep your eyes peeled for our episode! On Saturday we enjoyed sno-cones on the beach; John Brady enjoyed his the most (as you can see). Brady played hero on the trip; he SAVED a 2 year old from drowning in the pool! We had several boo-boos: Abby smashed her middle finger in the sliding glass door and blamed it on MeMe! Brady's foot collided with the edge of a boogie board and now is black, blue, and purple! Brilliance here, ran the van over a curb, an unusually large curb, and damaged something underneath on the frame next to the tire. The van now makes a funny squeaky noise, but there was no cosmetic damage, like we first suspected! This little incident was not so funny at first, but became quite funny, especially when we heard Hannah snickering in the back seat! Speaking of the van, Brady left the van key in the pocket of his swim trunks........WHILE he was swimming in the ocean. It no longer unlocks the door and not sure if it will start the van (I am too scared to check). Emma spilled a drink on a white canvas chair and proceeded to clean it with a dark blue napkin! This left a huge stain that MeMe spent lots of time trying to remove with several cleaning agents. This and MeMe's elbow grease were successful! John Brady shut himself in the bathroom and literally ate half of Pops and MeMe's toothpaste! All we could say was at least he was minty fresh!
We really had a wonderful time, laughing and playing together. We look forward to doing it all again!

Oh my its sounds like so much fun. It also sounds like you had as many boo boos at the beach that we had here. Gracie dropped a huge rock on her big toe and it is also black and blue.
I LOVE these pictures. The one of your kidos is absolutely wonderful!!

It looks and sounds like everybody had a wonderful time. I think you all will have something to talk about for quite some time. Did Brady really save a drowning child?
