Lagoons RV Resort Rockport, Again -- Thursday

Since their Mom and Dad were in Hawaii for the week to vacation and attend a wedding, we promised the grandkids a vacation of their own. Patsy had remembered the indoor pool at the Lagoons RV Park, and we decided that it was the place to take them.

We left early Thursday morning from Victoria, and arrived about 11:00am and got in and set up fairly fast. While hooking up, I noticed that we had lost the water heater cover somewhere along the way, so I immediately called our great salesperson at Sherman RV in Sherman, MS, Karen, and she is going to get the service guys to drop ship one to us for our trip next week to Medina, TX.

After getting set up, we drove the car over to Goose Island State Park, and let the kids run along the bay water’s edge and throw oyster shells into the water. Then it was back to the campground via the local Wal-Mart to pick up some apples, bananas and grapes along with some deli turkey breast for a lunch. Right after lunch, we hit the pool with the kids. It is fairly large, with cool water, and we had it all to ourselves. The kids had a blast. Here are some pictures (Including a lot for Mom and Dad!!):



After an hour, Grammie decided it was nap time, and we headed back to the Bus for some rest.

After naptime, we took the car, and crossed the ferry to Port Aransas. The plan was to walk the beach, and play in the water. We also had planned to eat some seafood someplace! The kids were impressed with the ferry ride, and really took to the waves and the beach. We did not have them in swim suits because we thought they would be reluctant to get in the surf, and we would only walk in the water. Matthew went right in, and within minutes, the sand washing out beneath his feet made him fall in the water (or so he said!!), and he was all wet! It took Aubrey a few minutes, but before long, they really got into it. Here are some pictures:


We cleaned up at the Mustang Island State Park, and then took the ferry back to Port Aransas and then to 'The Big Fisherman" restaurant in Rockport for dinner:


More fun tomorrow............
