POC Staycation

Two weekends ago Dan and Emily Shine (Derrek's aunt and uncle) were kind enough to let us stay at their house in Port O Connor, Texas. Well lucky for us our friends the Smiths also know people with a house down there SOOOO plans were made and the 1st annual Smith-a-Rouax vacation took place :) We had a blast!!!! Mason absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVES the beach. Its all he could talk about and when the time came for us to leave he kept asking if we were going to the beach. Poor kid. We did promise him that another trip would be made later on in the summer. Samantha did great at the beach too. All I can say is god bless the inventor of the bumbo :) We were so glad to have gone with another family. I am sure the trip would have been a fun by ourselves but it was a GREAT trip with friends. The boys had each other, the mom's had each other and the daddy's had each other. Fun was definitely had by all. Thank you Smith family for hanging with us for 4 days straight :) We hope we didnt scare ya'll away from traveling with us again :)

Mason and Barrett running around in their swim trunks

We set up a sprinkler for them and they were chasing each other

Mason not wanting to get any closer to the sprinkler.

The boys chowing down on some watermelon

Hunter, our watermelon eating champion. This kid can take down watermelon like no other

How cute can one watermelon eating kid be?

The one and only watermelon catastrophe. Doesn't he look so sad and confused as to how this happened? Of course this didnt stop him. If I remember correctly he picked it up again and continued where he left off :)

The boys getting ready for a ride on the golf cart. Hunter needed some persuading to look our way heehee
