Day 5

So on day five with our cousins we packed up the vans and headed to the Texas coast. It was hot... but you didn't really notice with the strong winds blowing. Which made it very pleasant for enjoying ourselves, but made it not so pleasant the next day when we realized we were all FRIED! I think every one of us had painful sun burns after this trip to the beach. Even Grandpa somehow got sunburned and he stayed hidden under the sun umbrella the entire time! I suppose it was worth it because we all had tons of fun playing in sand, collecting shells, riding the waves, jumping waves, flying kites, eating a picnic lunch of fried chicken and more! Texas may have ugly brown water... but it is WARM! Not to mention it had killer waves that day. If you don't mind a little sand in your crack... you can enjoy yourself all day long here... and we did! :)

The wind was perfect for kite flying! We had three kites going at all times.

Eli couldn't get enough of the kites!

Dallin was a MESS! He loved army crawling through the wet sand and eating it by the fist full!

Burned like you and Regan in Sunriver??? Do you remember that? Blisters all over your cheeks! I remember Regan kept peeking her head out of the water and saying, "Do I look burnt?" I kept saying, "No!" What morons, like we could tell in the bright sunlight!

What fun to go to the beach, we'll have to go there someday and enjoy the time with the kids.

What a fun day at the beach! Isn't it great to live only an hour away from the coast?! (I guess unless it's hurricane season).
