Port Aransas 2012

So last week it was that time of year again...time for the annual Cox family vaca to Port A!  We have been doing this for 5 years now, and it is one of the best weeks of the year for all of us!  It is a time of relaxing on the beach, playing in the ocean, and making lots of fun family memories!  I have lots of pictures to share!

 Caden loved playing all kinds of games on the beach!  He wore himself out every single day!

 Trent and me enjoying the sunshine!  And loving my maternity swimsuit! :)

 Onto the next game with Caden...ladder ball!

 We dug for lots of seashells and built lots of sand castles!

 Bocce ball was a favorite of all of ours!

 Kaki and Uncle Tag chillin' in the pool!

 Coming in from jumping the waves!

 Justin and his mini-me!

 Uncle Tag and Caden sharing a snack on the beach!

 Miss Kaki LOVED the water and crawling into the waves!

 Caden loved running in the water!

Kaki checking things out!

One evening we got all dressed up in our coordinating outfits for family pics and went out to dinner!  I won't share everybody's in case they are using them for Christmas cards or something! 

 Just the 2 of us for now! :)

 Nana and Bop and their 2 precious grands!

We kept talking about what it would be like next year adding another little one to the mix and trying to get all 3 to smile for the camera! :)

 LOVE!!!  So thankful for our sweet family!

Around the table, eating some yummy seafood...

 We always found fun games to play at the house in the evenings before the kids crashed!  Caden was always asking somebody to play a game with him, and, most of the time, it ended up being his favorite...Uncle Tag!  This picture sums it all up perfectly...playing Caden's game of choice for the night, football, and Uncle Tag sharing goldfish with Kaki amid the chaos!  I believe Uncle Tag is getting hit in the back of the head with the football at this point!  Caden's vocabulary was expanded this week by Trent as well! :)

Uncle Tag and Kaki just playing!  She is the sweetest girl EVER!

I promise she really does like me!  Not sure what's with the face she's making in this pic! :)

After the little ones went to bed each evening was when the real fun began!  We all learned how to play LCR and Texas Hold 'Em...let's just say we can get pretty competitive!  

What a great trip, once again, to Port A!  Looking forward to next year when Trent and I have our own little one to play with on the beach!  Thanks Mom and Dad for another great trip and all of the fun memories!  Love y'all!
