Driving Uncle Kevin's boat.
My uncle Kevin has a pretty large boat that he does boat charters on to see the whooping cranes, and he graciously let the boys drive it, and ride around the marina for a while. It was very windy, and too choppy to really go out for a ride, but the boys had a blast. In fact, Owen yelled, "Mom, I want to move here!"
Some of those cool live oak trees!
We went to visit my grandpa in Rockport, Texas for a couple of days over spring break. My brother and uncle live down there too, so it was good family visit. My grandpa, Cy Sims, is 83 years old and one of the most interesting people I know. I really enjoyed watching the boys interact with him. Grandpa basically has a boat shop in the back of his house where he works on boat motors. Truett was amazed with all his tools and boat motors. His property has a lot of live oak trees that grow low to the ground and the boys LOVED climbing on them. Also back behind grandpa's house is a pond that has a crocodile in it, so we got to do a little exploring back there too. Truett was very scared of the crocodile-- which is funny since he doesn't seem to be scared of anything. But the boys dug up a big deer antler back by that pond, which actually made the trip back to Hutto with us.
The shallow water of Rockport Beach.
Here we are hanging out on Rockport beach. The beach is very shallow and the waves are pretty calm, which makes it a great beach for these little guys. However, with the water still being 65 degrees or so, it was still pretty chilly. But they managed to swim around for a little while before asking to "go sit by the fireplace".
