D2X_1654Since my last article, we’ve been busy enjoying the great outdoors…

MDO had a fun field trip to The Farm. The kids got to see and pet all kinds of farm animals, and then we got to enjoy a picnic lunch with the class. We spent a morning at the nature center’s Outdoor Family Fair, getting to enjoy the day, visit the booths, and climb the rock wall. Nathan and Ben spent an afternoon at Barkley’s Spring Fling and then lounged around the creek in a paddleboat. And we just got back from a fabulous beach trip!

During the last month, Nathan and I also got to have a fun evening at a MOPS and POPS dinner. While the kids were being watched for us, we got to enjoy the company of other adults, a great dinner, and a wonderful speaker. We celebrated Nathan’s birthday with a big steak dinner at Cowcatcher’s Steaks. And I got to spend an evening out with Mandy, just us girls.

Our Port A trip was quite an experience! Friday afternoon and most of the day Saturday were spent at the beach. Nathan, Ben, and Daisy enjoyed the waves. I got to play in the waves and had some time to lounge. While poor pitiful Sophie cowered under the wagon, ready to head back to the truck the minute we were ready to go. Saturday night we headed into Rockport to enjoy a wonderful fried shrimp dinner. Sunday while the beach got soaked by rain, we drove into Corpus and spent the day at the aquarium. And then we got to head to the beach one more time on Monday before we left. And this time since there were no crowds, Sophie got to come off her leash and finally started to enjoy herself. So in the end, we finally all had a great time!
