Beach Trip

-




We went to the beach this past weekend. We had a lot of fun. Port Aransas is so near and dear to my heart and it makes me happy to go there every time. This trip was especially fun because we went with several good friends. Rob and Cheris were there with Violet and Graham. They stayed in a condo with Nancy and Chris and Evie. Katie and Soren stayed with us in our condo. We tested fate by taking this trip with four two year olds and two infants. People looked at us a little funny when we walked into a restaurant and announced that we were seven adults and six highchairs please.
We spent time at the beach and the pool and we each took turns making yummy dinners for the whole group. We went to town and souvenier shopped and Evie got to take a trip the ER for a finger injury. On the last day it was a bit rainy so we headed to the aquarium. It was so much fun to watch the toddlers watch the fish and dolphins.
It's hard work to travel with children, but it was a lot of fun too. I hope we can do something like this regularly. This is a great group of people and really good friends.

How fun! I love Port A, too. I never thought I'd like a beach (I'm more of a "mountain girl") but I love Port A. And travelling with friends like that is AWESOME.

Where did you guys stay?

And I love taking the kids to the aquarium. Their pictures with the dolphins are always my favorite.

New Roof

We have a new roof. Our tile roof was supposed to last a lifetime, but it was put on incorrectly and so we've been fighting leaks ever since we moved in. We had some bids offered on both a new tile roof or on several different types of metal. We chose a metal roof because I grew up with a metal roof and loved it and because it was less expensive than the tile. It took the crew seven working days to take off the tile and put up the new roof. They did a great job and we really love it. We were worried at first that it wouldn't be as beautiful, but we really do like it. Now I want to repaint the front door though.

New Directions/New Blog

The times, they are a'changing. I think it might be time to start something new. I have the idea that I want to start a new travel website/blog. I want it to be fancy and pretty. It will be a place to focus all my travel obsession/passion. I will blog our trips there and talk about travel with children. I will post when I find places that I want to travel to and I will post when I find great travel deals. I will talk about the points game too. I want to talk about Generational Travel. I want to talk about traveling with small children, but I also want to talk about how it is to travel with my dad and my grandparents. I haven't been able to find any websites out there that talk about travel with alzheimers and I think it would be helpful to some people. Katie already told me she'd help with my social media. (sure, with all her spare time. ;)) This blog has been my journal for seven years. I have loved keeping a record of my family here. Each year, when I rec...

Love for My Boys

First, Sam. Sam is in such a sweet stage right now. Gentle, giving, fun, sweet, easy. He loves to cuddle and share. He's talking a ton now and growing so fast. He's learning to ride a bike and yesterday and twice today, he pooped in the potty! He's only 21 months!!! He's working on his two year old molars and has been carrying around an old metal rattle to chew on. This morning he accidentally whacked Davis on the head with it. Davis cried and I pulled him in my lap. Sam ran over and crawled up next to us on the couch. "What happened?", he asked, deeply concerned. I explained that he had hurt his brother. Sammy said, "So Sorry, Dadis. Hug.", and gave him a big hug. Then he said to Davis, "I loves you.". I've never heard him say he loved anything or anyone and I was so touched to hear him say it to his brother. He would follow Davis anywhere and does. He leaps from the couch after Davis and tromps through the grass. He ex...
