My family and I went to the Port Aransas this past weekend. We had such a great time!! We rented a two bedroom beach house that was just a little walk down to the beach. From the balcony you could see the beach. The beach house was in a community of houses that had a community pool. Shelby and I arrived first with all of the kids. We unloaded and immediately headed to the pool. The pool was so warm so we only stayed in the pool for an hour. Ezra and Lincoln loved it, while Emersyn slept in the shade. Mimi arrived next, then Brent and Uncle and Malachi. The next day, Friday, we got everyone ready and packed up to go to the beach. We set up camp and played in the water until nap time, then headed back to the house. After nap time, we headed to the beach again. That evening we made dinner and then headed out to see the "Shark Store" (ezra was talking nonstop about the shark) and had some delicious ice cream. Saturday morning, ezra and brent headed to the beach to setup camp again. They stayed and played. By the time Shelby, Mimi, Emersyn and I made it to the beach (emmy decided to sleep in til 10), Brent and Ezra were ready to go back. So, the girls got to go to the beach and layout! It was great!! By the time we were ready to head back to the house, Malachi and Brent were ready for guy time, so they went to play golf. That afternoon we went to some shops had an early dinner and headed back to the beach that evening to do some boogybording! It was such a great time.
Ezra loved the beach!! I thought he was going to be nervous of the waves and how big the ocean was, but he ran right in with Uncle Malachi and Mimi. He loved it. He even got knocked over by a wave and was taken under for a few seconds and poped right back up and did it again. Needless to say, he had to have his lifejacket on the whole time. He was fearless. He loved playing in the sand too. He was covered in sand most of the trip!
Emersyn did great too. She just hung out in her little sun tent and napped. She is such a sweet, easy going baby!
Malachi, Shelby and Lincoln had a great time too. Lincoln didn't really know what to think of Cousin Ezra who is still learning to share toys, but all in all, i think they had fun together!
