June has been a tough month for us so far. Dad passed away unexpectedly on June 2nd. As you can imagine the following week has been extremely hard on the entire family. Mom is heading back to Houston with Warren to spend a week with him. Warren is being promoted to Leuitenant-low grade or first grade so Mom wants to be there to be a part of that ceremony. Bob, myelf and the boys are taking a much needed break and heading to the coast for a little family time.
Day 1: We arrived in Corpus Christi and checked into our hotel and then headed straight for the Port Aransas beach. We took the ferry onto the island, which the boys loved. We spent the next 4 or so hours playing in the ocean. Robert had a blast and took right to the waves, shouting "I will not be pushed back, Onward" into the waves.
Alastair took a little more adjusting to the bigger waves as he was more afraid of where the sharks were. So we played more in the shallow water.
I know Poppie would have loved to have seen their first experience on the beach and in the ocean. He would have loved to hear Robert's squeals of laughter and excitement. I know that somewhere Poppie was watching us and enjoying the salt air as well. We miss you so much Poppie.
Day 2:
We went to the Texas State Aquarium today. The boys had fun touching stingrays, seeing otters, dolphins, birds, ect. We had lunch outside looking over the bay. It was a beautiful day.
On to Day 3

glad you were able to get away for a little bit. Those pics defiantely brought back some memories. . .hmmm. . .I haven't been back to the corpus/aransas area since I was 7 months pg with Dakota. . .that was a long time ago.
Juanita,
I think getting away for a few days was wonderful. I know HJ would have loved being there with you all, but as you said, he was in spirit and you can see him smiling the whole time. Deon and I have been thinking of you and family everyday; remember to just take one day at a time.
love susan
