It's Finally Summer!! 

(singing "School's Out for Summer!")

Once again, blogging comes back alive now that school is out for the summer. It seems as if the school year sucks all the energy and life out of me and blogging. I have the time and some extra energy when it comes to summer. 

So we started the summer off just like last year. The day I get cleared from cleaning my classroom out for cleaning and whatever else they do, Chase and I started this idea last year by going to the beach for a few days. This year was no different, when I got cleared, we picked up Hallie from school, we packed the Jeep and headed down to Corpus Christi. We got there a day early so his family, Chase, Hallie and I went to a place called "Snoopy's" for an early celebration of my birthday. 

I had heard it was really good authentic food, I didn't know it would be THIS good!! I had too many good options to choose from so I went with something I hadn't had before in a long time, Shrimp Creole...

AH-MA-ZING!!! Best way to celebrate and start the 32 year mark.

After we ate we went back to his parents house to sleep and met up with our long time friends, Megan & Tim. We left for the beach early Sat morning. Camping, fishing, beaching for 3 days without kids.

 

 

I caught two crabs in the water playing with a trash picker-upper!

Tim tried picking them up with his bare hands... Yea, that didn't work

 We had GREAT company with us! I Love this girl...

 While the boys went fishing us girls decided to make the fire for when they got back. I'd say we did pretty good considering we started it and it didn't go out!!

Chase got a Jammock for Father's Day. I was testing it out and it totally worked.

 I think 2 people could sit in it...

Hallie, on the other-hand went swimming and played dress-up with Nana, PawPaw and Jaiden.

 

We definitely started off the summer with a nice relaxing time away from home.

Next year we are thinking of letting Hallie come with us!
