Post 2: Beach, Snoopy's & The Ferry...

I was REALLY excited to go to the beach... the weather so far was overcast, but I was anxious, so to the beach we went!

Can you tell I was excited?

First we stopped at the beach near their house... the sand was REALLY rough and it was windy, so we decided to drive over to the city beach...

2nd try...

Mom knew to take a few pictures of me before I made it to the water in case their were tears...

and some of the two of us...

Grandma Kitty was there too...

Mom finally convinced me the waves were not monsters and into the water we went...

A couple jumps and I started talking about my legs stinging (darn sensitive skin)...

I was done!

I tried doing some sand, but my legs were still really bothering me...

So one quick message in the sand...

and we headed home...

After a quick shower we headed to Snoopy's for lunch...

This is one of mom's favorite places, but I don't eat seafood, so I was not digging it...

Mmmm... pretzels. :)

The seagulls were cool though...

and so were the boats...

Next we headed to ride the ferry over to Port A...

It was VERY fun, a little short, but fun!

We found some great tourist spots...

We're silly!

and we got a cotton candy snow cone...

They had all kinds of awesome vehicles you can rent, I wanted my picture with this one...

and we had to stop and take a picture of me in front of Amelia's Landing... how cool is that?

On the ferry again headed back...

We saw a couple of dolphins, but they are hard to see for long...

It was a great day!

Heading to Corpus & the Aquarium...

We hadn't been to Corpus Christi since I was 7 months old, so mom promised Grandma Kitty & Papa Don we would make it down there this year... So we packed up as many bears as we could fit in the suitcase, kissed daddy & the puppies goodbye and headed South!

We got to the airport WAY too early so we played in the play area and rode the "airport monorail"...

We finally settled in at the gate and I spent some time singing and dancing to my favorite princess songs...

 

 

Ready to see my Papa! (it was the day after Father's Day so we went with a Papa themed outfit.)

After a quick lunch at mommy's favorite burger place we headed to Grandma Kitty & Papa Don's house... this is their backyard... AWESOME!

I put my feet in the water with no hesitation...

mom held on to the back of my shirt the whole time!

Love this one!

Mom had promised me we could go make my Minnie Bear once we got to Corpus so I would have a special new friend for the week (and she had coupons)... so on Tuesday we headed to the Corpus mall (it is SOOO different than when mom was a kid)...

They have an awesome ocean themed play area...

After lunch mom and I headed to the Texas State Aquarium... our Dallas Zoo memberships gave us a 50% discount!

First stop... sea turtles!

and then the baby alligator...

We spent some time at the splash pad...

and then a LOT of time at the touch tank...

I loved this little nurse shark... he had a pattern he would follow around the tank and I touched and chased him for over 30 minutes...

 

 

So fun!

We checked out the dolphins while they did their show...

and finally did the inside exhibits (where the camera doesn't work very well) when it got too hot outside...

It was a great day!
