Port A

We took our family vacation a bit later in the summer due to Justin's work schedule,
but it worked out perfectly being that it is still plenty HOT in Texas,
and everyone is back to school...
not out at the beach.
Enter the perfect time to hit the Gulf.
We headed out to Port Aransas, and stayed at the Sea Gull Condominiums.
We could not have picked a more perfect spot for our little crew!
The people that owned the unit we rented have kids,
so the place was perfectly suited for a young family,
fully equipped with movies, puzzles, etc.
Here is our trip in pictures...

Too excited to stand still...

Hey Paige...

Family

Little slice of heaven

Hey now...don't really want to go.

Port A attire...whatever you want.
Gym clothes in public is perfectly acceptable here.
Score.

Headed home...riding the Ferry in the Truck. 
This boy was ecstatic.

We can't wait to come back again.
This was the first time our kids swam in the ocean,
played in the sand all day,
touched a stingray,
and woke up to the sound of the waves.
Priceless.

Back to reality.
The kids picked out their Halloween costumes today,
a little early, but why not.
We have one happy Batman and Dorthy (Wizard of Oz) traipsing around the house tonight.
