Jarrell bought a skimer board and decided he was going to try it out:
He didnt get to use it much cause it was a little chilly, later on though we went back and titus took a nap at the condo and jarrell went out and bought some more gear. Here is Titus in his Billabong surf armor and surf shoes that Jarrell bought him, they looked really cute with his hawaiian swim trunks.
After Titus woke up from his nap, we dressed him in his beach gear and we set out for the beach again. This time Jarrell decided to get a little braver and actually boggie board some:
It looked like fun. but the water was soooo cold i dont see how he stood it, he said after a while he got used to it and it was warm, but i was too chicken and didnt get in, i used titus as a excuse, cause of course i had to watch him, even though my grandma would have been more than willing to watch him while i took a dip. Maybe next time it will be warmer and i will swim:)
In the mornings when we were there in Texas, Titus loved to explore our condo, it was a new place, he would go in the kitchen and get in the cabinets and go into the dining area and then the hall and just all over. He had a lot of fun. One morning i was really tired and came into the living room with him when he woke up and he kept going into the kitchen so i put up chairs as a barrier so he had to stay in the living room, im not used to being somewhere that is not child proofed cause i am so used to home where he can just run free.
Friday morning we flew out of Springfield, IL at 6:30am, had to get up at 2:45am and leave! We had never been to that airport but it ended up being really easy because of our GPS. We flew from there to Chicago and landed around 7:30am there, then our next flight left around 9:15am and from there we flew into San Antonio, Texas and my grandma met us at the airport. Here is a picture of Jarrell and Titus playing while we waited for our flight in Chicago airport:
Titus had so much fun running around everywhere in the airports, and we let him too, we thought it would wear him out and he would sleep on the plane rides, it worked pretty well too. He slept at least half of both our long flights! Well we got to San Antonio around 1pm and grandma met us and we started for Port Aransas, which is still a 3 hour drive from the airport(we were worn out by the time we got there!) We stopped at a whataburger and ate some lunch, whataburger is in Texas what a Mcdonalds is here in MO, but its a lot better food i think. When we got to Port Aransas, which is on Mustang Island, we just could not beleive how beautiful it was, we just awwed over the scenery, it was really pretty! We got to our Condo and settled in and then that night we went out to eat. The next day we got up and headed over to Aransas Pass, which is about 7 miles from us and went to Walmart, we packed really light so we didnt have to check anything and with having titus, one of us had to carry him and the other had to carry all the bags so we really only packed what we absolute had to. So we went to Walmart and got necessities(toothpaste, deoderant, etc.) Then we came back to the island and one of grandmas friends named Fran(i also know her too, she is kinda part of the family because she used to come to my great grandmas a lot when we were younger and we also would go visit her in Iowa where she lived) anyway, Fran cooked for us and it was really good, then we decided to go to the beach. It was a little chilly that day(chilly meaning upper 60's) so we didnt stay really long, but long enough for me to get wet up to my knees and Titus to his waist, lol! 
The next day we left early and headed for Corpis Christi to the Texas State Aquarium, it was really fun, we rented a stroller for Titus to ride in, he really liked seeing everything. We got to watch and Dolphin show and see all kinds of other sea animals:
The little girl in the picture's name is Kylie, i watch her and her brother Austin part time(more to come on them tomorrow, formal introduction, etc.)
