Port A Trip 2011

Wow! I am super behind on blogging! Uploading all of these pics is taking me forever these days, but I am finally done with this post! Better late than never!

Back in June we ventured down to Port Aransas with Jennifer, Nick and Clayton. Vacations are so much fun with friends! We had a great time and made lots of great memories! It was Ben's first trip to the beach and so that was fun to see. He loved it!



Wow! First time seeing the beach!

Hmm, what is this sand all about?
Addyson in her happy place!








He was happiest without the diaper on. Cute little beach booty!

Digging a hole was a popular activity!



2 of the nights we had a babysitter so we got to enjoy dinner out with no kids! Fun times!

Back porch bar. My happy place!

3 pina coladas later! I'm really in my happy place!

We enjoyed hanging out at the pool as well!

Splish Splash!



Ben ventured into the world of juice boxes during the trip. I had not really given him that much juice before but he is very aware of what the other kiddos are getting/doing and he wanted to be right there with them. He knew if everyone else was getting a juice box and he wanted one too!





Dinner out #2! We look all matchy matchy here.....not planned!

Jennifer and Nick

Our fav dinner spot! The Pelican Club....soooooo good! Love this place!

Our Little Princess!

My babies!

One day we went to Corpus to the Aquarium. Very fun and the kids had a blast!



Daddy and Addy with the hermit crabs

Yikes a shark!

Addy and Clayton (and Ben at the bottom!)

Jelly fish! (It's real!)

Family pic with the Dolphins!

We got splashed by the dolphins at the show and Ben was NOT a happy camper! He was screaming so loud that someone from a few rows up brought him a towel! We were all soaked!

Group pic!

We spent lots of time fishing!



Ryan spent lots of time teaching Addyson how to fish. She loved it!

They caught a big flounder!



One afternoon we rented a golf cart and cruised around town. We stopped for snow cones, went to the beach, candy store, shark mouth, etc. It was fun!














One day we took the boat out to shell beach and had lots of good times! I was a little nervous taking all the kids out on the boat, but it ended up okay in the end!

Ben liked to eat the sand.....:)

Addyson cut her toe up pretty bad on a rock and was bleeding all over the place. She was not happy about it!

Family pic!

This is one of my favorite pics from the trip. Ben was LOVING being in the water on his back and he was laughing so hard. LOVE LOVE LOVE his little giggle! Melts my heart!

Tammy and Brian and their kids joined us for a few days. We had lots of fun with them!

Ben and Graham are 7 weeks apart!

Last day we went back to the beach. This pic looks vintage!

Ben loved playing football with daddy!









Morgan, Graham, Clayton, Ben, Addyson



We had such a fun trip! Thanks Jen Jen and Nick for letting us tag along for the fun! It will be a trip we will always remember!

Yay!! I was so happy to see your blog post in my news feed.

This trip seriously looks like so much fun- I think it is great you guys all have a place to go every summer. The kids will remember these trips forever I'm sure.

Great pics! What a fun trip we had! (albeit very different from our pre-kiddo trips :))
