Corpus Christi - Better Late Than Never!

As most of you know, Ronnie moved to Corpus Christi a few weeks ago. While we are sad to have him gone, we love going to Corpus! We stayed for 5 dys when he moved up there and got to do a few things with the kids while we were there.

Here is Avery at the museum. She loves the display with all of the differents stones and rocks!

Just a cute picture of brother and sister!

Andrew has overcome his fear of alligators - well, the fake ones anyway!

Same goes for fake snakes! He thought he could convince people he was petting a real snake :)

The giant tree trunk - we get their picture here every time!

Avery listening for the ocean....

And Andrew too!

Ummm, Wade - the public restrooms aren't here!

Avery had to have a picture with the sequined dress!

And Andrew with the tractor :)

Hi Ho Silver - Away! Of course Avery didn't understand that one!

Andrew on his "horse."

Avery is the captain of the ship!

Andrew took fishing very seriously. Avery gave up very quickly if she couldn't hook one right away. Not Andy! He kept trying til he got it!

Andrew at the kid sized lighthouse.

And Avery!

Back at PawPaw's house Andrew took a break to color!

Avery played video games.

Just an adorable picture of my little man!

A beer shirt on a toddler. I tell you, we are class all the way!

There is a great skate park near Ronnie's house. Of course Wade took some time to go down there!

More Wade.........

Again.........

Ok - he took a pretty bad spill here! He was fine though - I snapped the picture at the worst possible moment!

More Wade........

Andrew got a new skateboard and here he is showing it off.

Avery didn't get a skateboard and she wasn't too happy about it!

Andrew trying it out!

We took a trip to the USS Lexington and here is Andrew!

And Avery! I don't know that I would want either of these two at the controls :)

Andrew and his daddy on the flight deck!

Ronnie with the kids.

It was windy, but here we are!

Can I get one of these for the house? Seriously, how cool would that be?

My other little jailbird!

This is a parade float of the Lexington.

In the bunks! Avery and Andrew got to see where the crew would sleep.

I'm not sure what he is turning, but he kept saying "chugga, chugga" while he turned it!

It was H-O-T on the Lexington. Here we are, almost done! Avery is waiting for her lemonade to cool her down.

Andrew looks just about as alive as his sister!

Avery borrowed my camera and this is the picture she took of me!

And Andrew took this picture of his sister!

We didn't have time to spend at the beach, but we walked down for a few minutes. Avery went right out, but Andrew didn't want sand in his shoes....... sigh.......!

One last pic of Avery at the beach!

On the way home from Corpus we stopped at Prasek's (the best beef jerky place in the world!) and Andrew picked out this lovely gummy snake!

And so concludes our trip to Corpus Christi! We planned to go back today til Sunday, but with the yucky weather from Tropical Storm Erin we decided to just stay back!
