MLK 2017 in Port Aransas

This year, our MLK trip took us to Port Aransas! This year, our group was Kristofer, Katie, Whitney, Mary, Taylor, Paul, Everly, Vic and myself. We rented an awesome house close to the beach and had our usual weekend of visiting, eating, and this year, playing with babies! It's exciting because last year, Mary & I were pregnant and this year, we not only have baby Paul and baby Everly with us, but Katie is also expecting and due in June! The group just continues to grow!

Here are a few pictures from our weekend! And all of them taken at the beach or in the bathtub, were taken by Mary!! I cherish these! They are all so precious! Oh and Mary and I have decided it would really be convenient for us to just be Sister Wives. We were discussing birthday parties and how we wanted to help each other and that really, if we all just lived under one roof, we could really take all of the advantages of being sister wives to our benefits (minus the sharing one husband part). Vic and Taylor were not convinced. I would settle for just being a couple of hours away! However, neither of our husband are leaving their job anytime soon, so that dream will have to wait!

  

Road Trip with Everly!

 

We made it! And the kids start to play.

Nice place!

Last year, there was no wine with babies in our bellies, but this year, with them nice and safe on the outside, we could have wine!

Everly doesn't like anyone to hold her, but Taylor isn't scared. And I think he is a sucker for babies!

Woke up the next morning to...more playtime!

We went to lunch with everyone, and Geoff, Jill & Keller joined us. 

Then, we went to the beach. Being January, it wasn't hot of course, but it was actually kind of chilly, even for Port Aransas. I was ok, because I think I am just warm natured. But, the babies were cold and Mary and Katie were cold! However, it was fun to put the babies in the sand to see if they liked it. Paul was not a big fan; he was done pretty quick. But, Everly was definitely confirmed to be Vic's daughter. She loved the sand and if I hadn't noticed her trembling, she would have stayed down there playing for much longer. Here is the group and here is Mary being trampled by babies. Then, there are precious pictures on the beach taken by Mary.

And I love this photo of us! Compare to last year....and this year!

Later that night, we put Paul & Everly in the bath together. Talk about adorable. They both wanted to grab each other's face or head or hair and check it out!

Holy cuteness! These babies!

The next day, Mary and I shopped a little, and then we all went for a drink and appetizers at a restaurant, whose name I've forgotten. Katie practiced her baby carrying skills!

 What a wonderful MLK weekend! Here's to next year with another baby (Katie and Kristofer!) joining us!
