This was our first official family vacation as a family of 4. It was kind of a last minute trip but everything worked out pretty good. We knew going over Spring Break was going to be crazy but it was the only time our friends Doug & Dixie could go since he is a teacher & baseball coach. So, we got busy booking hotel rooms, condo, etc. We also knew that taking 5 kids under the age of 4 is just plain crazy but we were determined to make the best of everything. On our first day, we met D & D in Allen, TX at the outlet mall, shopped for a couple hours then got to San Antonio that night. Hit Sea World the next day & then drove to our condo in Port Aransas, which is just past Corpus Cristi. We spent 3 nights in the condo, enjoyed the beach everyday, boogie boarded in the ocean, lounged on the balcony in the mornings, enjoyed letting the kids play together all day, watched movies, played Yahtzee, didn't leave the condo for any meals, boys played shuffleboard, & really just enjoyed ourselves! We left the condo, hit the outlet malls in San Marcos, spent the night in Waco & then got home the next day. All the kids did awesome on the car rides, sleeping at night, etc. They were so perfect the whole trip! Overall, it was a great family vacation with great friends & hopefully there will be many more trips together.

As you can see in the picture, he is still as happy & smiley as ever. He likes his new rocking horse he got for Christmas. Here are so facts for me to remember about him at this age.
