First Stop

Usually LTC goes to Dallas, but they wanted something different this time around, so we all went to Mobile, Ala so we could stop for a few hours at the beach.  We were thrilled as we have always intended to go there since living in Ala, but never made it.

We got onto the pier for lunch first.  They did a great job having it all set up and organized and everyone was fed super fast!

We did get to travel with some of the Robertsons, as the kids are also in LTC.  While here at the beach they were not fully recognized (although we heard one kid tell her mom she was certain she saw Korie from Duck Dynasty and the mother said “that is ridiculous”).  We just laughed!

I asked Korie about being recognized and she expected she would be ok for this trip since Willie wasn’t there.  She said you can go NOWHERE with him as he is the most recognizable (all the men are), but she tried to stay low key.  It worked at the beach for the most part—but not at the hotel!  In fact, she was unable to eat dinner with the rest of us because she was being hounded.  She was very gracious, but she said she didn’t want it to be about her or the show, but this was to be about the kids and so she retreated to her room.  It was kind of sad, but it comes with the territory and they get that.

After lunch it was time to hit the beach!  The water was too cold for swimming, but it was great for feet  :)

Lucy rode in the bus with the kids and she had a great time!  We didn’t see her at the beach as much as she was busy, busy, busy with her friends  :)  They are a great group of girls we are very thankful for!

They had all the big kids get together for a scavenger hunt.  They had a great time, and again we were very impressed with how organized it was!  Great planning!

The younger kids had a great time just playing!

After a few hours on the beach it was back in the bus and the next stop was the hotel!
