Alex discovered that he loves chocolate pizza. And we discovered that an all-you-can-eat pizza buffet is a pretty good idea for feeding 17 people.
Probably the best Cousin Camp craft ever thanks to Grandad. Incredibly cool birdhouses with Texas license plate roofs. Even better was that since it involved building and power tools, the dads all shooed the moms out of the way and handled it themselves.
For my family, the week isn't complete without a visit to the Texas State Aquarium. Many of our group opt out of the trip (unfortunately sickness caused Cole to miss, much to his dismay), but those of us that go have a wonderful time. This year Grandad posed up on the whale statue (we couldn't get Emma to get up there with the kids).
We see the same fish every year, but it still is a good time.
Our shopping trip always involves a photo op in the shark mouth. As you can see, Eva (on Emma's lap) wasn't so keen on getting her picture taken. And you can barely see Joey in the shadows of the mouth in the back on the right side.
About to go spend Gramma's money. Yippee!
We had a very nice visit from Grace's friend Audrey and her mother and brother. They were best friends in kindergarten, and the summer before we moved to New Jersey Audrey's family moved to Houston. Since they couldn't make it up to Dallas to meet up with us when we normally visit with old friends, they made a special trip to Port A so the girls could get together.
And as usual, there were cutthroat domino games going late into the night.
Next posting will have some actual beach photos.

The knife at the domino game didn't help your bragging "never-been-defeated" sister. The scores that last night were the best. Next is to learn to endure Blake and Max when they team up. I still laugh when I think of their domino technique.
