Spring Break 2009

This past week was spring break and mommy and Miss Becca thought it might be fun to do something with us for a day. The original plan was to spend the day at Sea World in San Antonio but if you know mommy (and Miss Becca), things spun a bit out of control and they decided that it would be fun to drive to Port Aransas for 4 days and 3 nights for a mini 'vacation' with 2 three year olds and 2 six month olds and no daddies. Silly mommies! So, we packed the car and headed out of town - only after having to go back to the house because our mommies forgot their wine. mommy said something about priorities? Hmmm. Our 4 hour drive to Port Aransas turned into 6 hours, but who's keeping track?

Starting our trip off right. Lots of activities in the back for 3 year olds....
Let's see what happens when we open the beach tent in the car!We're only asleep because we were offered cold hard cash. Nightie night!We finally made it to the condo and we watched a little Dora the Explorer before heading off to bed.
Our first slumber party! Get some sleep because tomorrow is a big day at the beach. The next day.....
Dressed for the beach
Watch out beach, here we come!
Jumping the waves
One very happy boy
Meanwhile, back at the condo, the babies were having their own fun....Cozy friends
After the beach, we were very dirty and needed a big bubble bath

Are we the cutest things or what?
Cleaned up and ready to go to dinner - where we will not sit in our seat and will not behave. Our mommies are slow learners.
Day three.......

Mommy and Miss Becca thought it would be fun to take us on a dolphin tour....on a boat....with 4 kids in life jackets.....out numbered. Then they came to their senses and thought of a very fun alternate plan. Putt Putt Golf, anyone?
If I put the ball right next to the hole, is it still considered a hole in one?
Nice putt, Emmylou!
After a day of golfing, we got to go to the store to spend the dollar we 'earned' by sleeping in the car ride here. Of course, I want to spend my money on something soft and furry.
What does Emmylou want to buy?
She picked out a nice shot glass to take home. What does it say?
'Caution: Instant sex machine. Just add alcohol'. Ultimately we both decided on our dolphin claws.
Taking pictures at the faux sand castle
Hi mom!
On our way home, our mommies drove thru Sonic for dinner and took us home for the night. I'm not sure why they weren't up for taking us to another restaurant since I'm sure it's a pleasant experience for them.

Watching more Elmo, Dora the Explorer and Wonder Pets before heading off to bed.
Going home.....
Today we're heading back to Austin. We had such a good time but we really miss our daddies! Here we are reading the candy machines to our mommies. Unfortunately, all of the signs on all of the candy machines we saw said 'I'm sorry. We're broken'. Bummer!
Tired! Our mommies didn't even have to pay us this time!
