A Belated Beach Trip (AKA Emersyn's 1st Beach Trip)

A few weekends ago, we decided to take a trip down to the beach since we didn't get to take one this past summer due to me being pregnant with Emmie. Of course we went to Rockport and it couldn't have been more perfect. The weather was amazing! The water was still warm enough to get in and the air was cool enough to stay out all day. While the girls went to the beach and shopping...the boys fished in a tournament, where Jeff placed 5th (Jeff corrected me...he placed 4th!) in the redfish division.

There's no better place to be than to watch the sunrise over the bay.

The fish of the day.

Jeff and his fish that placed in the tournament.

Jeff caught a puffer fish.

Jeff and my brother played with it on the boat. It was making a weird noise and blowing up.

Nonie and the girls. Emersyn's 1st trip to the beach. She didn't like the sand on her feet. Emmie has a weird scrunchy face. I guess the sun was too bright?

Eating at the beach.

Grace inspecting her name that Nonie carved on the beach.

Grace playing in the sand. She had a GREAT time!

After eating, Emmie fell fast asleep. Who wouldn't on the beach with the sounds of the waves?

Grace and Nonie making sand castles.

Sleeping in her carrier the 2nd day we went to the beach.

Sand angels anyone?

She insisted she wear her sunglasses this way for part of the day. She's so silly!

All tuckered out after playing on the beach.

Nonie and Grace being silly and posing with Grace's "germmies" (aka fishing worms). We'er not sure how she came up with this name, but it's cute?

This was the best family picture we could get. Headed out to the tournament dinner.

Grace was so proud that her Daddy won a "trophy!" She even went up with him to receive his plaque.

Emmie and Papa listening and watching the award ceremony.

After going through all the pictures taken...I just realized I have no pictures of my brother from that weekend. :o(
