Zoey's 1st Beach Trip

Texas Sand Fest 2011

Port Aransas, TX

Zoey and the Wingler clan went to the 2011 Texas Sand Fest in Port Aransas, TX.  Zoey's very first beach trip!  We had a blast playing on the beach, in the pool, and hanging out with Zoey's grandparents, Uncle Todd, and cousin Jillian.  We watched Uncle Tyler and his classmates participate in the sand sculpture contest.  

Here is Zoey helping:

Zoey loved the sand.  She thoroughly enjoyed digging with her shovels, filling her bucket, and pouring water out of her watering can.  The ocean was pretty cold, but that didn't stop her and her Daddy.  She got pretty upset that she was too little to follow Daddy into deeper water.  That was ok, though, she also had a blast swimming at the pool.  The water was cold there too!  She toughed it out and enjoyed her floatie and practiced her kicks.  When we weren't out and about, she loved playing inside the beach house and out on the deck.  We casually watched a Toy Story marathon while we played and ate dinner.  

We had a great time.  We even had a nice drive into Corpus Cristi on the way back, where we stopped to have lunch and look at the U.S.S. Lexington.  We'll have to make the next beach trip there.  The water looked cleaner and there was also an aquarium and other fun spots to check out.

Zoey enjoys long walks on the beach, sunsets, and juice boxes.
