Spring Break @ Last

This year we decided to rent a beach house in Surfside, Tx. This is the second time to do so and Rance and Sadie's first. We loaded Big Red to the roof and headed out as soon as Sadie finished cheer tryouts. We got there about 9:30 Friday night. Everyone had a blast playing in the water except Rance and myself. The water rolled up to ankle deep and was so cold my legs hurt.

The people behind us partied Friday night till 1:30 AM and till 3:30 AM Saturday night, or should I say Sunday morning.

Me eating my first raw oyster. It wasn't too bad, mainly just the thought of it.



Trevor surfing and the girls trying to boogie board with a tanker coming into port. Sadie says she saw something dark swimming by them and then got bumped on her leg by something hard and smooth. There's all kinds of fish out there you just can't see them. If you ask her, she says it was a shark, possibly a nurse shark.

The trip ended with Rance getting whatever made Colton sick last week. High fever and no other symptoms. But, we all had a great time.
