Texas in Port Aransas!

The second half of our trip was spent in Port A with Pop and Nana!  Our days included playing in the pool and giant slide, going to the beach in Port A, heading out on the boat for our annual trip to St. Joe's, cruising the local surf shops, and yes, more Mexican food!  Oh, and naturally what would a vacation be without a TORNADO sighting.  Yep, you read that right.  South Texans call it a "water spout", but it was a tornado.  Trust me. 

We had a great time seeing family and can't wait to do it again next year!  Well, except for Marley puking her recently eaten mac 'n cheese.  on the plane home.  while still ascending.  No pics of that...i can tell you're all disappointed. 

Texas in Taft

We spent the first half of our Texas vacation in Taft with Mimi!  We spent one of the days at the Texas Aquarium, which came complete with a splash pad!  The girls loved it and it was a great place to "cool down"!  I don't have pics, but we also went to see "Despicable Me 2"!  Layla loved it!  Marley liked it too, but was happier with the boat-load of popcorn she was allowed to eat!  Clearly, it's way better than the popcorn we usually have at home!  We also fit in some shopping and a visit with Uncle Freddy and Aunt Linda!  Oh, and of course some good 'ole Mexican food at one of the many great local eateries!

Royal Birthday

We celebrated the birthday of one of Marley's besties, Abigail!  Boy, it was a hit with every little "princess" at the party.  Ariel and Cinderella made a surprise appearance and everyone (including the adults) were captivated.  It was such a great idea and Layla has been hounding me since to invite them to her party next year!
