Texas Vacation 2008

School let out at 11am on May 23rd and the Littles caught a plane at 1pm for a fabulous fun filled Texas vacation. After a LONG and SNOWY Utah winter, we were ready for some sun. We smothered ourselves in SPF 50 and spent 9 days soaking up the sun. It was sooo nice! We spent 3 days in Rockport bay with the ever gracious Buckle family. We swam, went crabbing and fishing, boating and swimming. Zachary would have liked to have fished 24 hours a day, but enjoyed the time he had. We took a little drive up the coast to Corpus Christi where we saw the USS Lexington, and then spent the next week playing in Houston. It was great to see all of our friends in Sugarland. The best part of all was having time to just play and be together.

Beautiful Blog! I think you could be on to something. You could go into to business creating wonderful family blogs for crazy women like me who don't the skill, patience, and time. The pictures were great. The smiles on the kids faces said a thousand words.
Love you all.....
