We have an annual tradition of going to Port Aransas over the Labor Day weekend holiday with friends from the University of Texas. It is a fun tradition and amazing how much it has grown. We used to go in college and all stay in one, maybe two condos. This year, we were 24 adults and 16 chillens thus upping the condo number to 6!



Despite the threats of Gustav ruining our much anticipated weekend, we had perfect weather with no rain, and lots of sun. We did have a mean case of mosquito attack, but it wasn't anything a little bug spray couldn't take care of. Unless of course your name is Isabella and you're apparently super allergic to some cocktail mix of bug spray, sunscreen, soap, salty water, chlorine water. Isabella was a trooper and didn't let the horrid rash bug her. She had a good time playing with all the other kids in the sand, in the pool and at the playground. Diego enjoyed the feel of the sand on his feet and hands, but wasn't too excited at having sandy thumbs to suck on. He is not yet crawling or sitting up, so his options were a bit limited.


We had the toddler races again this year. Isabella did not throw a tantrum like last time (see video on Tricia's blog from August/September 2007), but she chose to once again not participate. Everyone was well prepared this year with bribery for winning. Candy, M&M's, fruit roll up, trucks, etc. Apparently all the bribery didn't matter too much, the same boys kept winning over and over - they were the oldest and the tallest - Luke & Mason.


We also took the cute picture of the future Longhorns. Unfortunately I do not have those pictures to post and am awaiting those pictures along with the group picture from others as I didn't get either of those on my camera.


Thanks to everyone for coming and for all the fun sandy, chlorine filled memories!
