More SB 2012

Another fun field trip today!  Dottie, the boys, and I headed out early this morning bound for Dauphin Island.  We started at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab.

The sea lab is the perfect destination for the boys.  It isn't too big...just right for their attention spans.  There was lots to see...even some things to touch!

  

Outside, they have a great boardwalk that wraps around and eventually heads out to Mobile Bay and a small playground area.

hard to get a shot of all four with John who has to be moving!

After a picnic lunch,

we decided that we'd walk to Fort Gaines.  It wasn't a part of the original plan but the boys were up for it.  I think they may have enjoyed this as much if not more than the sea lab. 

There was a ton of walking but no one complained...not once.  That's miraculous...or at least the sign of a good time!  The weather was incredible.  We could not have asked for a better day!
