Port Aransas Vacation

At the end of August we went on our first family vacation to Port Aransas. We had the greatest time! We were able to stay at the Evan's condo and meet up with the Heathcotts, Selfs, Griggs and of course the Evans. It was so fun spending time with everyone! The kids had a great time playing together at the condo and the beach. The trip started out a little shaky when I got the stomach bug on the way. I recovered most of the day Friday then I was good to go. Everyone went to the beach on Saturday then grilled out that night. On Sunday we persuaded the guys to forgo Golf and head back out to the beach. Sunday night we all went to dinner. Then...Sunday night Bailey, John and Kelley got the bug... The trip started and ended kind of yucky but we all had a great time on Saturday and Sunday.

The boys (dads)
The girls (mommas)
There weren't any other families staying at the condo while we were there, so we took up the entire condo. We set up camp at the end of the drive and let the kids run. They had such a great time!
The golf team...Harper brought a golf club and I think it was the preferred toy all weekend.
The result of letting the kids run. The drive was so dirty....their feet changed colors.
First time at the beach...we sent the boys to set up camp at the beach and they definitely picked up bait before heading to the beach. The kids were very interested.
Brookelynn checking out the bait...it didn't make it.

Our camp...a few ladies down the beach were calling us the "2 and under club"

So we planned to get some great family pictures on the beach...that didn't happen.
We waited to late and went after dinner on Sunday. It was dark and windy.
Oh...and we got Jenn's car and trailer stuck in the sand on the way.
So...I decided to have a little family photo shoot at the Evan's condo.
