Port A - Part A

I read an article recently that discussed a research study that found multitasking actually helped students to retain more information and perform better. So, in an attempt to improve my American Political Thought paper on Lockean institutions here is the first part of our annual UT Port Aransas trip! :)

These aren't exactly in order....

We always stay at La Mirage, and Allison Brown magically makes it all happen. She literally takes care of everything. Thanks Al!

This was our setup, the tents provided shelter from the sun, rain and toddler's flinging sand...most of the time.

As usual, moving sand around was a primary occupation while on the beach, as were silly faces.

Sports were played....

Massive trenches were dug...

The kids watched Finding Nemo Friday because it decided to pour buckets on buckets of rain. They all loved it. Finding Nemo (or Me-yo as Sam calls it) is his current favorite movie so he was super-excited. I think it rained every day that we were there, but most of the time it was during nap time and didn't spoil our fun! :)

The Condo's have a playground and Sam went down backwards for the first time after watching Brooke do it. I don't think he's gone down the "normal way" since. The playground was a nice backup for when it was raining. It's always a big hit.

The Dismount.

Something about Sam in this picture makes him look very grown up to me, I'm not sure why.
