MOTHER'S DAY ADVENTURES!

Today we decided to make our way down to Corpus Christi for the first time! We ended up having alot of firsts today, Our first time at the Texas State Aquarium, Kaidon got to see airplanes up close and personal & The boys played in the ocean for the first time! We left home about 8:30am and after a few stops made it to the Aquarium about 11ish. We enjoyed all the sea life and then went and got a bit to eat in the afternoon. Then we took the boys on the USS LEXINGTON where Kaidon's eyes just lit up when he saw all the airplanes and explored the ship! Grandpa was able to tell us all about the ship as we climbed up and down and walked all around. Grandpa was able to show us what he did on his ships for years while he was in the Navy, what a treat this tour was for all of us! After our ship tour we headed down to the beach, Kaidon was so excited he had never been where he could play on the beach in the ocean before!

Kaysen wasn't to sure about the water and the sand as daddy held him in the water. We got so many wonderful pictures today here are several, it was really hard to choose which ones to post because there were over 200 to choose from!
