We had an absolutely amazing family vacation July 4th week!
We went to the beach on July 4th and had a really great dinner on the water just in time for the wonderful fire works display Port A put on. Everyone (kids and adults alike) were in awwww of the display. I enjoyed it so much I didn't take any picture of the fireworks. :)
On Tuesday (the day before Wesley's birthday) we went on a dolphin and lighthouse tour. As many years as Justin and I have been going to Port A, we have never gone on a dolphin watch so it was definitely a cool experience to have seeing our kids get so jazzed about the view.
Mr. Dolphin coming to tell us hi!
The lighthouse............it is currently owned and operated by the HE Butts family. Its fully operational but is not used currently.
How can I even begin to caption the picture below? His hair looks good longer when he is wearing gel and/or a cap but when its been windblown?!?! This is the result!
Kate acting like a seagull.........
Justin and the kids in the surf.....I do NOT do ocean water.....not even when the water is warm....but luckily the kids enjoy it!
We had originally planned to spend Thursday and Friday of the week in San Antonio and New Braunsfels doing the Sea World and Natural Bridge Caverns but Justin got called into work and Vanessa had to work nights, and I didn't want to take them that far on my own.....so we went for Plan B. Which allowed us to stay at home and do some 'house' things. Number 1 on the list was creating a 'big girl' room for Miss Kate now that she is officially sleeping in her own room and LOVING IT! I had originally told her I'd do it before she went back to school because I didn't think we'd have any time but with two free days at home, we got it done! First she picked out her bedding and then we picked out the paint. And the rest is history! We still have a few items to finish: Justin has to put up the curtains and we have a cute wall art to put up and then I want to put an area above her TV/desk where she can display all the art and prizes she has. But for the most part its done and I LOVE it, she LOVES it and Wesley LOVES it (he tends to sneak into her room when he gets scared at night and he thinks her new sheets are so soft and comfy!)
Note: this was the cutest door hanger but 'someone' slammed the door last night and it fell off and the mirror cracked so we are creating a different one with a similar look but no plastic to crack if it falls again (since everyone seems to use Kate's door to go into the bathroom or Wesley's room..Wesley has his own door to his room but no one uses it...we all go through Kate's room..haha!)
