DAY ONE: FRIDAY
On Friday morning, we packed our bags and headed to Clear Lake to stay at the Hilton. We met right up with the family and headed to lunch on the sea wall.
Nate and Blake are two peas in a pod. Nate hooked right up with Blake. It was hard to tell who was trying to keep up with who for 2 1/2 days.

After lunch we drove to the ferry and fed the birds off of the back of the boat. There were a ton of them! This was great free entertainment for a family of 9. We saw several dolphins, which was my personal highlight of the ferry ride.

The family!
The birds would literally swoop down and take bread right from your hands!
After the ferry ride, we headed right over to Moody Gardens and went to the aquarium. Nate was thrilled about seeing the sharks and ran around as fast as he could until he found them. Anna loved taking in all of the animals from the starfish to the penguins.

The sharks swam right next to you and over your head. It was fascinating to see all of their rows of teeth. Nate couldn't get enough!
As if that wasn't enough fun for one day, after Moody Gardens we went to dip our feet into the ocean. I cannot believe it, but the kids had never been to the ocean before.
A storm was brewing in Clear Lake, and the kids were getting stir crazy in the hotel, so we spent our morning at the park and hanging out on the pier before the downpour.

Pictures are worth a thousand words, and these pics are too perfect for captions, so enjoy...

DAY TWO: SATURDAY

Off to the Fun House...I couldn't get too many pics here b/c the lighting was bad, but we did have a blast, and the kids loaded up on tickets and prizes.
Sic 'em Bears!!!
Heading home this morning was tough after having so much fun with our cousins. Both of the kids took a 3 1/2 hour nap this afternoon and only woke up b/c we made them get up. We were worn out! Thanks, Sandy, Aunt Wilma, Sheri, Aaron, and Blake for another awesome cousins' weekend!
