Rockport Vacation

For spring break this year, we packed our bags, and headed to Rockport. Thankfully, with the luxury of  Grandma and Grandpa's motor home. It was a week filled with different sights and experiences. But the ride going there was kinda long...   

But we managed to keep ourselves busy with games...

We arrived, and decided to go do some hiking to check out the camp ground...

The hike was great, and we took many more throughout the week. We got up early the next morning, and headed out to the pier to see where we would do most of our fising and crabbing. The sky was gorgeous...

On one of our many bicycle rides, we saw a big tree that was just calling my name to climb it! I tried to find a way to get on the tree...

I finally found a way up. I felt quite victorious!

 

Later that day, we went back to the pier, but stopped at "Stinky Beach". We thought it was very hilarious!!

After a laugh at Stinky Beach, and unsuccessfull crabbing there, we decided to head to the pier for hopes of lots of crabs...

We crabbed for a while, and ended up catching six crabs!

At the end of a successfull crabbing, tree climbing, bike riding day, we had a good dinner!

The next day, Sasha decided to come along with me to the big tree. I think she felt victorious too...

After that, we decided to go to Port Aransas. It took a ferry to get over to the island...





At Port Aransas, we got to go to the wildlife refuge, and saw people carying out sea turtles that were being let go the next day...





On the ferry ride back to Rockport, we saw some dolphins swimming by...

For dinner that night, we went to The Boiling Pot. They served crawfish, crab, and great peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!

The next day we did some shopping, art gallery looking, and getting ready for night fishing! We were successsfull in catching a lot of small speckeled trout, but sadly none of them were big enough to keep. Chet definatly enjoyed the catching part, even though he did not get to keep them. He never fails to make me laugh, saying "It's ok that we can't keep them. I don't like eating them anyway! I just like catching them!" He was quite happy!

We caught a few croakers. I think thats what they are called. The name describes thier sound quite efficiently!

The next day was St. Patrick's Day, and we all managed to wear something green...

We went to the beach at Port Aransas and had a lot of fun! We got to see some really cool syncronized kites...

On the very last day, dad got lucky, and caught a big red fish. Not sure what it's called...

We all had a very great time! It definatly was a well spent spring break!
