Today, is our last full day here in Texas (sniffle...sniffle...boo-hoo-hoo!). Tomorrow evening, the boys and I head back home to see Daddy and Bella (yeah!). It seems like we just got here, but in reality we have been here for a week. The time sure does go fast when you are having fun and we sure have had our fair share!
Yesterday, we packed Grandpa and Grandma's car and headed to Corpus Christi. That's right, we went to the beach. This was the first time the boys have seen and swam in the ocean! They even had a special playing partner, cousin Julia, come along for the trip. We were able to get a hotel room at the Naval Base so we turned the trip into an overnight stay! This meant that we could go to the beach twice!
Nicholas and Joshua were amazed at all of the water and sand they saw. Nicholas's exact words were, "Whoa! That's a lot of water!" They were so excited to play in the sand. They used their shovels and buckets to build sand castles and dig for sea shells. Next came the water. They had so much fun splashing and jumping in the waves. I will admit that I was a nervous wreck watching them in the water even though I was just an arms length away. The waves just pull you in and before you know it you are in a lot further than you wanted to be. I especially had to keep my eye on my dare devil, Joshua. That child has no fear! Noah played on the shore and and enjoyed crawling through the water. He was having fun playing in the sand until he got it in his eye. Poor baby, we had to give him a full body "baptism" in the ocean after that happening. Nicholas enjoyed swimming in the waves with Julia. He had fun digging in the sand and getting buried in it too. We were even able to catch a little crab. Of course we had to leave it behind when we left the beach.
We had such a great time! A HUGE thank you to Grandma Violet/Mom and Grandpa Dan/Dad. You are the best! I will never forget the memories you helped create over the last week. Can't wait to do it again when we come next summer.

Can't wait to see all of you. We will try to be fun, but how do we compete with Sea World and the ocean?!! We will have the 4-wheelers charged when you come over!!

Awesome beach photos! You can tell everyone had a blast!
What great pictures! The boys will remember this trip forever--well, maybe not Noah Baby, but he will enjoy seeing the pictures in years to come. Thanks for sharing!
