Texas Trip (Day 3)

Maybe I can finally catch up on here...
After my last post, we all got a horrible stomach bug that started with me, then went to Gunnar, then to Ashton, then finally to Lars and lasted from
Thursday to Tuesday or Wednesday. Not fun!
Anyway back to our vacation before I forget everything.
On Monday Lars and I got up and went for a run, I was actually thinking
it might feel a little easier running there with the way lower elevation (almost sea level), but I was wrong! That humidity is a killer...Poor Lars. I don't know
if he will ever run with me again, haha.
We survived 3 miles while the boys hung out at the house, then we all had breakfast then got ready to go to the beach for the day.
We were slow moving so we didn't get to where we were going for lunch till after 1:30 or so. We stopped off to get the boys some boogie boards in the hopes that we would find some cheap ones that we could just leave at their house for next time we visit, rather than paying more to rent some for the day.
Anyway we did find these cute ones as well as new swim shirts for the boys...I hadn't found any for them yet for this year, so I was excited.
And they looked so cute!!
 Anyway, before we went down to the beach we went and ate lunch at a yummy deli. Then finally made it to the beach around 2:30 or so.
It was such a fun, fun day. Ashton could honestly live at the beach, or IN the ocean! And he played in it almost the entire day on his boogie board.
Gunnar went out for awhile, but like usual when we go to any beach, he preferred to play in the sand.
They were both so happy just being there, and I was so happy watching them. I just kept thinking...these are the days, the best days.
 So much fun...best memories made!
With it being a Monday, we pretty much had the whole beach to ourselves and it was a beautiful day!
Lots of pictures from our day...
So glad Lars likes the water and goes out with them!
 
Oh my goodness, I just adore these two :)
So happy! 
He wrote this...
(I love Texas) 
We literally had to drag them away...
...after I took this picture :)
After we got them all sprayed off and changed into clothes, it was getting pretty late, so we stopped off at Sonic and got food to go. They thought that was the best since we never do that!
They got to eat in the car and we didn't get back to the house till about 9:00. Needless to say they slept great that night.
I also just have to say that they got along so well that day and really this whole trip. That is not always the case, so it just made it so enjoyable.
We passed time in the car playing the alphabet game and other guessing games, and it was just fun!
