| Within the first 5 minutes of arrival at the Rockport beach house the kids were on their bikes, riding around and enjoying the sunshine. They then quickly moved to the beach where they spent the majority of our vacation. |
 |
| We were very busy building sandcastles, filling buckets with water, making lakes and finding seashells. |
 |
| The fresh sea air made us all sleep well at night so that we could get up first thing in the morning to ride bikes! |
 |
| My cool guy! |
 |
| My pretty lady! |
 |
| This family trip is always so relaxing and great because it is filled with so much quality time with the kids. They are at the age where we get so much enjoyment from playing with them. |
 |
| Miles loved kayaking and often insisted on paddling - so I got to sit back and relax as my dad and Miles ferried me around. |
 |
| One of Hadley's current obsessions is "coffee" which she demands on a daily basis. |
 |
| Enjoying a cup of joe (or whole milk in Hadley's case) in the morning. |
 |
| We also feasted on delicious home cooked breakfasts...lunches...and dinners. My mom filled us to the brim with good food. The kids knew where the action was and bellied up to the breakfast bar. |
 |
| We also played at the park a few times and fed the ducks. |
 |
| Enjoying the sunshine on the deck. |
 |
| Our first all family kayak ride! |
 |
| Our first all family trip down a slide together! |
 |
| Every year we take a family photo on the deck before we head to a shrimp dinner at Charlotte Plummer's, our favorite restaurant in town. I remember the years where it was just Mike and me. Now our arms are full! |
 |
| Miles and Hadley were not only stuffed with good food and lots of treats but were also showered with attention from grandma and grandpa. They read lots of books, played on the beach and took many walks. |
 |
| After dinner one night we saw a beautiful sunset. All of the oyster boats were coming in - it was great! |
 |
| This picture makes me laugh. The sunset is gorgeous and Mike and Hadley not only look like twins but the scenery is so vibrant they look superimposed on the background. |
 |
| Feeding the ducks at the house. (We kept a lot of ducks fat and happy on this trip - feeding the flock at the house and at the park.) |
 |
| A day of leisure wouldn't be complete without ice cream! |
 |
| I tried my hardest to get a cute shot of these two. They love each other so much and have a great time together but capturing these moments with my camera is hard. |
 |
| This is more the norm for my sibling pictures. After a trip to the local aquarium we toured a sculpture garden right on the water. |
 |
| Miles and grandma made rice krispie bars and everyone is enjoyed the fruits of their labor. (Notice me and Mike in the background - truly relaxing with our magazines.) We had a wonderful, wonderful time - thank you mom and dad for another year of Texas memories! |
 |
| We arrived home late at night so the kids went right to bed but the next morning they were the most thrilled to see Ruby again. Both of them kept exclaiming "Ruby, Ruby!" over and over again. This picture captures these two being their normal, goofy selves - hiding under the shower curtain together, hugging and brushing their teeth. |
