Beach Trip

Courtney's family has a beach house in Port Aransas, and we were able to join them and some other friends of theirs for a very quick trip to the beach. We left Wednesday afternoon and got there in time to feed the turtles that live in the pond behind the house.

We got Will ready for bed, and Pierce wanted to hold him before he went to sleep. See, I'm not kidding when I call Will "my giant baby"! :)

Claire was not as successful in holding him, but did give sweet Will one of her typically energetic hugs.

The next morning we got up and headed to the beach. Will spent most of the time snuggling with someone under the umbrellas and got in a good nap. Claire had an absolute blast! We weren't sure how she would do since she wasn't too interested in the sand or the water initially, but once she saw the other kids out there having fun, it didn't take her long to join in. She even tried the boogie board - we were so proud of her!

Lunch and naps followed, and too quickly it was time for us to load up and head back home. We had big days planned again for Friday and Saturday and wanted to make sure we all got a good night's sleep. Although short, it was a very fun (and successful!) trip, and we're looking forward to getting some more beach time in again before too long.
