A beach trip in Texas? With white sand and nice beaches? Yep, we found our new favorite vacation spot in Cinnamon Shore on Mustang Island near Port Aransas, just about 3.5 hours from Houston. We planned it to be an end of summer getaway and birthday celebration weekend with the Slye's (Aubrey's birthday is this week and mine was last Saturday). It was also Caroline's first trip to the beach and the weather was very nice. Not too hot, but still warm enough to swim in the ocean.

| This is great, Mom! I love the beach. |
| Trying out the water. |
| Teaching Baby Sister how to make sandcastles |

| Clapping because she likes it. |
| I can run free and this sand feels good when I stumble. |
| Beach buddies - Caroline, Clark and Harrison |
| Pool time. So refreshing. |
| Showing me what she found - a piece of driftwood! |
| Ryan picked up the most amazing cake from Three Brothers Bakery in Houston. The beach theme was so cute. What a fun surprise! |
| Look at the cute little fish and turtles. |
