Port Aransas Trip 2008

We had a lot of fun on our trip to Port A. Taylor loved the water and when Blake would tell her there was another wave coming, she would "wave" at the wave. Too cute. She hated the feel of walking on the sand, even wearing her water shoes, but she loved the water and she tans really well, so she redeemed herself there. :) We had not the *best* condo, but it was fine and it was right on the beach. The first day when we went to the beach, the seaweed was everywhere and SO smelly! There were crab and clam shells/ decaying bodies everywhere from Hurricane Dolly the week before and that was completely disgusting. We actually walked through what we thought would be hard, dried seaweed and sank up to our calves in gook. SO SICK!!! I was sure I would get a disease from what I tromped through to get to the water. The next day, we drove about 5 minutes down the beach to the "state" beaches and it was beautiful. Apparently the parks people have bulldozers out the every morning cleaning it up. Even the water was nicer, but I think that was due to not being so close to the bay and the pier. In all, we had a great time on the beaches and both Taylor and Isabelle were very well behaved. We had some really yummy seafood and lots of fun just hanging out with our friends. Now Taylor is catching up on some much needed sleep (she didn't take a good nap the whole time we were there!!).

My New Chair

I have been looking everywhere for a chair for Taylor. She loves little chairs and crawls in them all the time. I went to the City Wide Garage Sale for the first, and last, time ever (which I really don't recommend unless you just love old junk- really- not antiques- JUNK) and found this precious chair (the only thing I found, obviously). Anyway, Taylor now has her very own chair to sit in at home. She loves it.

*No offense to anyone who loves the City Wide Garage sale. I do have a friend who manages to find some awesome things there, so I guess it can't be all junk (that's my disclaimer)!!

PawPaw's Birthday

We all went out to eat for PawPaw's birthday on July 21. Then we went to get some ice cream. Taylor LOVES ice cream!!
