It's been busy here but I just came to a screeching halt (pinched disc once again) so I decided it was past time to post a few photos of one of our summer adventures...
I was sitting down at the pool late one night when I thought a trip to the beach sounded like fun. I got back to the house and booked a room at the beach for the next day and we woke up and took off for a couple of days at the beach, love it!
Mustang Island Beach...Beautiful day and awesome weather!
I love our Jeep, love that it can take us down the beach away from the crowds.
Michael immediately got out of the jeep and headed for the waves!
He's still in boogy board phase, which I'm glad. I am sure when he's older it's going to be surf boards and bigger waves, ekk.
Lots of sea cucumbers...
And of course Michael had to set up a military base...
Wouldn't be the beach without a seagull or two or a million of them, lol
as we were leaving for the evening we watched these two guys trying to launch...
They weren't having much luck.
5:30am is a bit early MOM!!
LOL...I wanted to catch the sunrise which meant an early morning wake up call...oops!
Gorgeous!
There's the sun!
I had big problems with my camera fogging up. The hotel room was super cold and we couldn't get it to warm up in there. Made for a miserable cold night and then when we got to the beach and the humidity was 100% the camera lens fogged up big time. I finally had to turn the heater on in the jeep and set the camera on it to get rid of the moisture...took me awhile but thank goodness I didn't completely miss the sunrise and got some great photos!
Rainbow behind us in the clouds, beautiful
Michael was having fun digging and building a moat
I took a lot of photos of the sunrise, it was just too pretty!
One of my favorite photos..
Not me those waves are too rough! He did turn around and come back in...
Breakfast anyone?
I was being watched...
8 years ago Fred and I took a dolphin tour with Kahootz. Michael has been after me to take him on a dolphin tour so I booked one for us...So glad Kahootz is still giving tours, we enjoyed it!
Totally relaxed and looking forward to the ride...
Bottlenose Dolphin.
They told us they had lost count at 35 when it came to baby dolphins this year.

A young one checking us out...
Beautiful day for a boat ride
Tern following the boat...
Not something I'd want to try but Michael saw them and loved it! If he ever does it it's going to be without me!
Tankers and a tug boat in the inner coastal canal...
They're up and off...
Lydia Ann Lighthouse, near Aransas Pass.
Coast Guard in Port Aransas...
Polly Anna a gulf coast shrimper...
We had a great time and it was so nice to get away to the beach for a couple of days!
