We took a mini vacation to Port O'Connor last week. David was already going to be there taking a client and new employee on a fishing trip (he's got a hard job, right?) so we just decided to all go and get out of the metroplex for a while. The only thing to do in Port O'Connor is fish. I mean that. There's one gift shop, only one decent restaurant, and one little bitty grocery store. We were an hour away from the nearest big city. So while David fished from sun up to sun down on Thursday the kids and I explored the city (which didn't take long) and had some major down time. We took walks, found some swings, walked out on a pier and saw dolphins jumping around, and took a lot of long naps (yay!). The refrigerator went out in the house that we rented originally so the next day they moved us to another house with a great ocean view. Since I had already unpacked and gotten settled in the first house it was kind of a chore to repack, move, and unpack again by myself (especially since both houses had lots and lots of stairs) but it was worth it. It was such a great time to just "be". For days we had no agenda, no cell service, and no LAN line. We had to just "be". It was fantastic.
Here we are at the only restaurant in town. The cool thing about this place was we could sit out on the patio overlooking the water and we got to watch dolphins swim by as we ate. As you can see, Savannah was a little grumpy right then.
David promised Benjamin he would take him fishing. So we found some docks by the restaurant and baited up. Here's David catching a fish. The kids were so excited.
Waiting.....
Watch and learn son.
Here's Benjamin fishing.
He actually caught a fish! I took several pictures while David and Ben were in this pose and in every shot Benjamin had his eyes on the fish. He's was so amazed!

As David and I were placing our order at the restaurant I looked over and Savannah was taking a big sip of Daddy's margarita. Of course I stopped her as soon as I noticed but I tell you what, the look on her face after having a taste of it was priceless. She then took a 3 hour nap that day....must have been the tequila. :)
Busted.....
