Down By The Bay

Stella in front of the USS Lexington!! Doesn't she look tiny?


We had a wonderful weekend at Corpus Christi Beach. Grammy has taken our children for the last 8-10 years on her Grammy tour. They have spent the last 6 or 7 at the beach. It's become a wonderful tradition. Grammy asked me to join the group about 5-6 years ago. This year Roy and G'Pa both were available and joined us too.

She's so Cute!!! Poising by the castle G'pa built!!!


We got to Corpus about 5:00 and went straight to the beach. Had fun in the rolling waves.
Patty hitched a ride to the Skidmore/Tynan Football game. Cousin Zachary had a great game as their starting quarterback and led his team to a 41 -7 win.


After playing in the sand we rinsed off and warmed up in the hot tub.



That's a full tub!!


The next morning we headed to the beach again. The water was really calm.



Michael skipping sea shells.:)


The boys also found some hermit crabs. They wanted to bring them home. We talked them into keeping them one night and letting them go.:)




Joy decided to build a castle Sat. morning. This was not the finished product. It was grander than this picture; G'pa helped her build a mote and a bridge.

Check out the sun bathers.



Amy had a great time too!!!!!


The last morning Roy took the middles and littles to the beach while Patty and I started packing up. They took a walk and saw two dolphins about 10 feet away. It was great ending to a great weekend. Grammy always says; lots of memories.:):)
