Beach Trip Recap

Okay....here's a rundown of our trip to Port Aransas.

Saturday Brad, Granny (my grandmother) and I left for Port A. at around 8 am to try and catch the gambling boat that leaves at 11 am. We were really cutting it close since the gates close at 10:30 but we made it!! I forgot my camera so I didn't get any pictures, but we had a lot of fun. The food was okay and the drinks were okay. I played slots and blackjacks and did pretty well. I only spent $2 when I added it all up and that was after gambling, tipping the dealers and waitresses and giving Brad some of my chips..so I did pretty good...Brad? not so much.

After getting off the boat we headed to Port Royal where my mom,dad, Emma, Tyler and my brothers and their friends were waiting. We ate some pizza and headed down to the beach. The kids played for a while and we went back to the room for some REST!!!

Sunday we went to the shops, beach and HUGE pool. Tyler decided he wasn't scared anymore and was jumping around and swimming in between me and MiMi!! Emma is fine...as long as she has her floaties and doesn't have to go under water! Tyler will probably swim before she will! I got the kids a "beach" outfit and some really cute picture frames at the shops and I bought Emma some seashells b/c there really aren't very many on the beach???

Monday we did the same beach, pool, fed seagulls...all the stuff you do at the beach!

Tuesday, we took the kids to the beach early in the morning and Brad had put out the bought seashells for the kids to "collect" They were so excited. Then we all headed home. We stopped at the Big Fisherman in Rockport for lunch and on Tuesday's they have all you can eat CHICKEN FRIED STEAK for $1.75. Yep that's right ONE DOLLAR and SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS!!! Tyler loved their potato soup and Brad and I got fish so I'm not sure if the Chicken Fried Steak is anygood, but for $1.75 what more can you ask for??

Everyone had a lot of fun. The kids both really love the beach and they both behaved really well except for about one "breakdown" apiece.

On the way home Emma said to me, "I have a crush on Ryan" one of Jake's friends. She told me, "he's very cute"!! She's BOY CRAZY! What have I gotten myself into??
