Last week we traveled down south to Aransas Pass, TX! We had the best time with two wonderful families, The Smiths and The Jordans. Dave coaches at LH with Jeff and Lonnie. We spent our time fishing, boating, beaching, cooking, eating and relaxing! It was the perfect vacation for all us right before football gets geared up for the hubbies! The 5 older kids were the best entertainment and babysitters for Anna. She LOVED all of them and they really are the most well behaved, well mannered kids I have been around in a long time. And of course I love their mommas, my fellow coach's wives, Kelli and Laura! Thanks so much to the Smith Family for hosting us and planning such a wonderful week!

We cooked all of our meals at the house which was great considering so many little chickens to entertain! Here is the kids table, except for Anna Lou.
One day we took a break from the beach and headed to this great little waterpark in town. It was awesome with big slides, a huge baby pool and even a high dive!

Huge baby pool
Allie on the high dive.
Anna loved this slide. They wouldn't let us go down with her, but she had no problem going by herself. She kept heading back to the steps climbing up to do it again.
I promise she loved it!
A little guitar hero.
Anna checking out the little shrimpy bait.
There was lots of fishing and lots of catching!
