Sunday we headed to the Waterpark in Gulf Shores! I was super excited about this, especially after just going to the one in Dallas and seeing how much Gracyn loved it! We arrived just in time for Spongebob Squarepants to make his appearance! Gracyn walked right up to him and gave him a big hug! Of course, I was snapping pictures. Little did I know, there was a line to see Spongebob and for pictures. OOPS!

Ready to play!

We started off in the kiddie pool. I figured Gracyn would have attacked the slides like she did a couple of weeks ago. WRONG! She wanted nothing to do with them. She acted like she had never been in a pool before! After awhile, I figured out what the problem was. All of the slides had little water spouts at the top of the slide. She did not like these. I was finally able to convince her that the water wouldn't get in her face. She went down it a couple of times, then was done with them. She was like a different kid out there. I was a little disappointed, but all that matters is that she had fun.
We pretty much spend the whole day at the waterpark. Eric and Clint went off to ride a slide then we headed over to the lazy river then had lunch. After that, we left the girls' with the guys and Katie and I went to ride the slides. We ended up riding 3 and had a blast!!! We got back to the house about 5 and got ready to go to dinner. Of course, this took awhile. We decided to head to Calypso Joe's since we heard rave reviews. We get there and they were minutes from closing! Mind you, it was 8pm on a Sunday night. So we set in search for another place to eat. We ended up going to Reds and Ribs. They had the most amazing ribs, but that was about it! To top the evening off, Gracyn peed on Clint...in the restaurant! Poor Clint! The rest of us got a kick out of it though! Oh the wonders of potty training!
The next day we had a Pirate Ship excursion planned. This was the only thing we had an actual appointment time set for. We arrived just in time to pay and load the ship! This was the one event I was looking forward to the most on this trip; however, it didn't quiet turn out the way I was hoping. It was so hot! The poor girls had to wear life jackets so we're even hotter. Gracyn was not a fan of the life jacket and kept trying to pull it off.
The captain of the ship really only had one leg! So that was neat! However, we learned at the waterpark that Caroline is not a fan of people with loss limbs. We won't get into that : )
They had two teenage girls that actually put on the show while the captain drove the ship. They gave the kids tattoos, pirate hats, and pirate guns. The girls just weren't really into it till they brought out the water guns. They enjoyed that. Then towards the end they found out that Eric had stolen gold and they through him in the bottom of the ship! The girls were all about saving him! It was seriously the cutest thing ever...they were so worried about him!

Now for the exciting part of the day! So, you know the battery died at the house before we left Van Buren, right? Well, we stopped to get gas on the way back from the Pirate Ship Cruise. What happened when we tried to start the car back up after filling up? NOTHING! Battery was dead! The guys tried to jump it but nothing happened. So Katie and I got the girls out and headed into the gas station. We bought some drinks and snacks and we just sat in the floor and chilled for a goof half hour. They finally got the car jumped. The guys dropped us off while they headed to Wal-Mart to get a new battery. Once they got back we headed to the beach!!!
