BEACH

Another great family vacation at Rockport has come and gone. We left this year wishing we had another day to spend at the beach. We took Owen with us this year and the kids really enjoyed having their cousin come along.
Zoe and Owen had their own room. They spent most of their time at the beach house with the door closed pretending one thing or another. We didn't take many toys but that didn't seem to matter. Owen's little imagination led the way. Several times I would go take a peek and they were crouched behind one of the twin beds, piled high with their gear, Owen behind the wheel taking them on a journey. The said wheel was an extend-an-arm type gadget that is designed to help pick items up off the floor. In addition to being a steering wheel the "picker" had many functions during our stay. Rhett got in on the action chasing the kids around pretending to gobble them up with his mechanical hand. Henry was especially skilled at getting the clamps caught in his sister's hair and just issuing a general amount of grief to his cousin via the "picker".

This vacation was just as it should be, relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. I won't be needing a vacation from my vacation.
