Throughout the week, we've been hearing and reading on Facebook and other friends' blogs about snow...Snowmaggedon, blah, blah, blah, snowpocalypse, blah, blah, no school snow days, yadda, yadda, you get the point.
Quinton keeps asking when we're going to get snow and happily, I reply, "It doesn't snow in MOBILE!" I have found MY silver lining in this not-so-cloudy town!
So for all of you snowed-in, spring-feverish friends out there, I give you pictures of a little outing from last weekend when the temps here were in the 70s...yeah, you heard me!
We took the opportunity for such a nice day to go to Dauphin Island, about 30 minutes south of our place. It is a small island where a bunch of the houses are on stilts. We did a little photo shoot for some family pictures.
Here is our little family!Luckily, a nice woman sitting nearby came and took some pictures for us since it's hard to get Sawyer's attention with the 'timer' feature on the camera.
Matt and Sawyer love this game of throwing Sawyer up into the air! My dad made the comment that Sawyer looks like a kite in this picture!
Quinton and me...I am THOROUGHLY enjoying wearing sunglasses and not my eyeglasses anymore! We LOVED playing in the sand and just enjoying our new surroundings!
I think Sawyer was winking at me, what do you think?
This isn't a close up, it's him winking at me again!
This is at one end of the Island at Fort Conde. It was pretty cool to check out and to the left of where this picture was taken, there is a ferry that takes cars and people to the other side of Mobile Bay. I'm hoping one of our next excursions is taking the ferry...I think the boys would LOVE it!
Although the water was too cold to swim, it was still a perfect day of playing in the sand, having a picnic and going for a bike ride.
For several reasons, I don't exactly love our new town yet, but spending the day at the beach with all three of my boys in JANUARY was wonderful and makes me like this place just a little more than I did before. Of course, after this week's blizzard across the midwest, I like this place a lot more!

Fun pictures!! I am thoroughly jealous of your sunshine and short sleeves in January down there in Mobile. The crazy amt of snow here is such a pain. Enjoy your warm weather!

Great pics, Stacy! I would love to be there right now! Missing the salty air!!
P.S. Have you made it to Fairhope yet?? They have a great public beach and it is so pretty over there!
Those pictures are adorable and oh how I wish I were on the warm beach with sand in my toes. It is horrible here in OK. It is crazy! But I'm glad you are enjoying your new home.
Wow, those pictures were taken by a lady just passing by? Wonderful! Can I find her the next time I am in such a picturesque spot?! Glad you are enjoying Mobile.
