Trip to Corpus

So Shaun decided we needed to take a little trip to the beach this weekend. It did not start great since I was supposed to leave work early to go and get Cohen who we had not seen in a week. I ended getting stuck at work and Shaun had to go get him. Let me tell you I miss my kids when they are not around but love the break, however, this last break was way too long. I could hardly talk on Friday without crying and when I did not get to leave as expected, it was even worse. So, we finally left and got there around 5:30. We went to the beach all three days. We drove out to the National Sea Shore and Mustang Island. The kids really love the water and the sand. They wanted to stay there forever, however, you can only handle so much of sand and salt water. Sat. night Shaun and Cohen went fishing and were not too successful but it gave Kyleigh and me some time to stay in the hotel and play Skipbo. We also went to some of the fun stores on Padre and the kids each picked out a boogie board. That was the most fun; watching them try to use it. One interesting thing we saw was when we arrived at the beach Friday night, we noticed some huge kites in the air. As we drove closer, we realized they were not kites; they were huge kite looking things attached to a surfboard. The surfer would maneuver it and it would take him about 30 mile and hour over the water. Some of them even went in the air about 25-40 feet high. They were very cool and we hope to get to do it some day.
