Beach Adventures - Day 3 and Day 4

On Tuesday, we headed to the beach as soon as breakfast was over. The water was a little cold, so we didn't spend much time in the water. We just played at the waves and mostly played in the sand. Autumn thought the water was cold so she didn't like the waves and prefered the sand. Mason decided he wanted to walk the shoreline and that's what he and Robert did. You can see them in the first picture. After a couple of hours at the beach the kids needed a nap so we headed back to the room and rested up for our afternoon adventure.
That afternoon, we visited the local shops so I could get the kids a t-shirt. We stopped at the same store we did last year to take pics in fromt of the dolphins. I think we might do this every year, to see how much the kids have grown. We also stopped at the giant shark as well. I didn't get the kids shirts here as we decided to get shirts at the ball game. After this stop, we made our way to Corpus Christi to go to a Hooks baseball game. Before the game we made a special stop at my husband's and Mason's favorite place - Whataburger! This Whataburger is right by the bay (hence the name) and you can see all the boats from the windows. Mason enjoyed that. After that we went to the game. We tried regular seats, and by inning 3 we were in the back of the field in the grass section. Mason saw the game area and he and Robert spent the rest of the game playing. They had one of those bungee trampolines, and we know how Mason loves that thing. There was also a pitching tent, and Mason gave that a try. By his third pitch, he just walked up and put it in the hole! Haha! There were a few other play things Mason went back and forth at. While Mason played, Autumn and I hung out in the grassy area. Autumn made friend swith a little boy and played with his baseball some.
We finally headed back to the island and the kids slept well - both until 8! It was nice for mommy and daddy :)

On Wednesday, we just went home. We tried another restaurant in Goliad on the way home and, well, it was just ok. It was a much needed vacation!

The sign behind us says "watch for fly balls." Yeah, not really...
