Rockport Beach

Before we become a family of 4, we thought we deserved a family vacation, and we escaped for a couple of days to Rockport, Texas to enjoy the beach - and enjoy we did! Gabi absolutely loved the water and her first waves. She loved digging in the sand as long as the sand didn't touch her, and she smiled, giggled, and laughed almost the whole time. We captured some fantastic moments on camera for our memories and for our blog fans to enjoy!

This babe LOVED her first time at the beach!

Gabi has dug in dry sand and rocks before, but this was new fun!

These two were pretty cool dudes in their backwards hats.

First, an amazing family selfie!

And then a great family shot by a lovely stranger!

While Gabi LOVED splashing and digging, I'm pretty sure a third favorite part of the vacation was ALL the "teet teet"s!!! (her favorite animal as of now) Daddy had to show her what he used to enjoy doing with the teet teets when he was a little boy. Ahhh nurture...

We head back to the hotel for lunch and nap time, but someone decides it's play time! The king bed just wasn't big enough.

After we're all rested, we find Rockport's free aquarium, and Gabi loved looking at all the tanks of neat animals!

Yes, I had to.

Spending time on the pier in the afternoon:

more great family selfies :)

Day 2 comes, and we're ready to roll over to the beach again. But first, the obligatory tourist pictures:

Yup, this is what we call a beach babe. Yup, she can stand on her own. Yup, in sand.

Gabi was ready to go home after 2 great days at her first beach! Being my daughter, she was ready to take charge and drive the caravan herself.

On second thought, this is how she really felt after 2 days at the beach...
