Beach to Bay Trip!

We have been planning for some time to form a family team to run the Beach to Bay Relay Marathon in Corpus Christi. This was our year! We headed to Lito and Lita's beachhouse Thursday. After a looong morning in the car (we had to take a detour since some roads were flooded), we decided to hit the pool after naps.

We also took Lito's awesome Aggie golf cart for a spin on the beach!

The next day, some headed to pick up race packets while others hung out at the beach house. By the time everyone was back, a huge storm came. So we waited for it to pass and headed out for some quick beach time after dinner. The kids were so excited!

Saturday morning, we were up early for the big race. Our lineup was: Allia, Kristen, Lito, Uncle Matt, Tia Becky, Austin.

Allia and I were buddies. I walked with her to the starting gate and cheered her on, then walked over to where my leg started (hers turned back on itself, so it wasn't far from her start to mine). She got to run on the beach, lucky girl. It was beautiful first thing in the morning! After I handed off to Lito, Austin picked us up, and we went to drop him off at his start then headed back to the beach house.

 Beach buddies with Tia Becky Sunday morning.

We had an awesome time at the beach Sunday. We made an early morning trip and then a lunchtime trip with Tia Becky and Uncle Trevor, then an after naptime trip too! The waves were great, so the older crowd had a great time boogie boarding, even me. Austin taught Stephen and Anastasia, and they even joined in on the shallower waves!

This guy loved it. No beach fear here!

Thank you, Lito and Lita, for making such a fun family weekend possible for all of us!!!
