Port A ~ Mustang Island Beach

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the beach last week...

(Photos below were taken with the Rebel Xti 10-22mm lens. Yes I took the Rebel but only took it out of the truck for a few minutes and put it right back. Sand and Cameras don't mix too well and I do NOT want to mess up my Rebel, ekk)

This was later in the afternoon after the skies cleared up and the sun came out...isn't it gorgeous? This is one of my favorite beaches in our area and that is the Gulf of Mexico your looking at...

L.J., Michael and Isiah enjoying the water...

It was so calm and peaceful...


Blue Heron doing a fly-by.


(The rest of the photos were taken with the Canon Power Shot S3 IS)
3 brothers enjoying the Beach!


Ahhh he so loves the beach and I love seeing that smile :o)


L.J. catching a wave.


Headed out to catch some waves...
I did try to show the boys how to use their boogie boards but it didn't go too well, (chuckling)...I'm too darn old and my bones didn't want to work like they used too...Hopefully they'll figure it out on their own. L.J. was trying and I think he'll get the hang of it before too long.

A wave, A WAVE!! Yeah!


Hmmm where did the waves go?
I love this photo of Michael with L.J. waiting for a wave to come in...Buddies!


Love this photo of Lori we had such a great time and laughed so much!
I think she was trying to catch a wave if I remember correctly and she sunk instead, he he he.

Yeah he caught a wave...go Michael go...


Lori took a photo of me with the boys during our Sand Castle building adventure...

Lori said she couldn't ever remember having this much fun at the beach! Thank goodness for my Grandmother, Vivian, and Aunt Debbie for teaching me how to have fun at the beach...Love y'all ♥ Nothing like making memories to last a lifetime!


I even managed to catch a Blue Crab to show the boys!!


Almost a whole sand dollar, cool!


Michael and L.J. playing with a crab.
I so loved watching the boys have fun and enjoy themselves!


We saw a lot of aircraft fly over...too cool!
We even got to watch a Huey Helicopter fly over, Michael was so excited.


I've never seen a crab like this one...I did a search on the internet and this is what I came up with lady crab, calico crab or ocellated crab...Anyone know what it is?

We had sooo much fun and it was a beautiful day...I took a ton of photos and if you'd like to see more of our Beach adventure check out my flickr site...Click here.
