Port Aransas~our last hurrah for the summer!

We just got home from a wonderful weekend at the beach with Ricky's family. It is always good to be back down there in the water and sand...no matter how hot and humid it might be! It was Ryder's first time to see the beach and he loved the water and sand. We were surprised he never tried to eat the sand!! Kalyn and Sheldon had so much fun with their boogie boards, swimming, flying kites, fishing, building sand castles, catching ghost shrimp, and just being with family. We also took some family pics one evening which was interesting with all the wind-ha! So thankful for the great family time we had and the perfect ending to an awesome summer... God is good!

Ryder's very first time to see the ocean!
