Port A - Part B

This is the obligatory family shot I make David and Sam take. A candid, not-facing-the-sun, picture actually turned out better than....

The say cheese, facing-the-sun picture. Oh well.

The 2010 Port A Everybody shot

How many parents does it take to get a shot of all the kids?

Here's what Sam thought of the whole process...

And what we ended up with...the usual photo of [insert # of kids] crying children :)

The annual toddler race. We thought for sure Sam would at least be in the running this year, especially since running is just about all the boy does.

But as you can see Macy won by leaps and bounds, followed by Matt and Josh. Like last year Sam sort of teetered off to the side. He's fast, he just didn't care.

And then it kicked in and he won the congeniality prize. Most of the kids kept running back and forth having race after race. Sam just never really got into it. Next year I'm sure he'll leave everyone in the sand dust!

What do you do with 50+ sandy Longhorns and their kids? Throw them into the pool! Going to the beach, hosing off and then jumping in the pool is the standard flow of the days we spend there. Food and sleep are thrown in there somewhere too :)
