Beach - July 2008 We take a family trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama every year. This year was a little different....many of you know that my mom passed away in April of this year with a 2 year battle with cancer. The trip was definitely not the same, but we had a good time. McKalie and Lakin both loved the pool. We didn't make it down in the sand but a few times. It was just too hot for McKalie and Lakin wasn't too excited about the ocean. The Glasgow's joined us for the trip, as they do every year. The boys played golf every day and the girls took in the sun!!!
