Another trip to the beach

The boys had so much fun at the beach, we decided to take a friend up on her offer to use their beach house at Port Aransas. We went for a fun weekend before Kevin headed back to school.

Florida Family Time - Grandma and Grandpa

After the beach, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's farm. We took Grandpa for lunch at Cracker Barrel and shopping for some movies to watch on his big TV. We showed Grandma and Grandpa how much fun the Buzz Lightyear Rocket Blaster sprinkler toy, watched Grandpa show off his vintage tractor, and had a yummy dinner to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday. Once while coming back from an errand, Kevin came face-to-face with one of the cows! Kevin and Alan had fun playing with Grandma and watching Cars with Grandpa.

Florida Family Time - the beach

The family went on a trip to Florida to celebrate Grandpa's 80th birthday! We spent a day at the beach in Clearwater, where we got to see sharks, turtles, stingrays and dolphins at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and the boys got to splash in the surf. Alan wanted to play with the sand as soon as he stepped on the beach, but took a little coaxing to play in the water. Kevin was happy to romp into the surf right away! Daddy even flew a kite for the boys. Before we headed back to Grandma and Grandpa's, we went to the playground at Pier 60.
