Spring Break

We went to Port Aransas for a much-needed spring break getaway.

We stayed in a condo (pictures courtesy of Max).





 
 
It was too cold for me at the beach but Max LOVED it (the water at least - the sand not so much). He would be shivering with his teeth chattering and not want to get out. I think we will be taking more trips to the beach this summer!

Our condo was just over the dunes from the beach, but we also went to Padre Island National Seashore.  Matt really just wanted to see how the Outback performed on the sand.

Other than the beach, we found every playground in the town and visited some of the birding sites as well.  One evening we ate at a restaurant right on the water, and Max liked watching the boats.

On our way home, we stopped at the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. The only wildlife we saw was a turkey but we had a nice picnic and enjoyed driving through.

We went over the weekend and came back Tuesday so it was nice to get away but still gave me time to get some things done the rest of the week. Too bad spring break isn't 2 weeks long!

Things in Max's Bed

We started putting books in Max's bed when he was old enough to look at them by himself when he would wake up in the mornings to keep him entertained. He's also always slept with a little blankie I made him and a creature he calls "Feet-Feet" from Dr. Seuss's The Foot Book. However, things have recently gotten out of hand. Currently his bed is also occupied by Elmo, a puppy, and a teddy bear, along with about 4 books. When we put him to bed tonight, he asked for Thomas and Percy, so they are with him tonight too. I'm fairly certain he had a couple cars with him at naptime that were left in there too. So if you're keeping track, that's at least 13 items...oh and there's also his pillow and a blanket in case he gets cold. Is there room for a boy in that crib?!?
