4th and a Quick Trip

Bryan has added some "fun" to our house.  A long time ago, we got these swings for the kids and he finally hung them up from the trees in our backyard.  One of the great things about this house is the huge trees we have in our front and our back yard.  It makes it so cool to be outside.  Otherwise we would be indoors because it is too hot to just play in the sun down here.  The kids LOVE the swings.  While I make breakfast, they swing. 

Bryan installed this disc swing in the front yard and it is a challenge.  They really have to use their muscles to hold on to the rope and balance themselves on the disc.  Jillian is really the only one that can do it yet.  Rocco tries but falls quickly. 

Don't worry!  She does not get on but she wants to!!

This was our 4th!!  Bryan had to work so we just headed over to my parents and swam in the pool and ate hamburgers.

Hadleigh rode in the swing at Grammie's house.

Jillian got new pink goggles.

Rocco is ready to swim!!

Then on Thursday after swim lessons, we headed down 37 to Port Aransas.  Friday morning, the kids were ready for the beach. 

Two words - boogie boards.  Rocco discovered boogie boards.  And he rode and rode and rode and rode the waves. 

Again and again and again, these two rode the waves!!!

They were so good.  Again and again, Bryan and my Dad would take them out and find them a wave to ride.  They were incredible!!!

Little Miss was not so impressed with the sand and the wind and the heat. 

But put her on a boogie board and got a smile!!!!

It took a day or so, but then she discovered that she liked eating sand and salt water!!!!

Back to the waves!!!!

We did other things like visit different piers to see what the fisherman were catching!!!

We went to the park every night to ride the swings and play!!!!

We read lots of library books!!  Well, Hadleigh did not want Grammie reading this book.  She wanted her book. 

In the early morning, my three favorite men watched the ships sail to sea. 

We made sand castles. 

We played pirates and buried treasure!!

We waited for the Wharf Cat and took silly pictures.

We saw lots of red snapper!!!

I really wanted a cute pic of the 3 of them sitting at the beach with their feet and the sand but this is the only pic I got of the 3 of them together.  Watching the TV way to close!!!!!

It was a good trip!!
