This year we resumed the annual TELG FAMILY VACATION!!!! Ken & Peggy rented a beach house outside of Sargent, Texas. Our views were beautiful! The back of the house over looked the intercoastal waterway and the front looked out over the beach and Gulf. The entire family was able to come and it was a wonderful time. Ken, Peggy, Matt & I, Kinley, Jenny & Terrance, Cadence & Savannah, Sabrina, Morgan & Wyatt, Josh, and Amy & Madison were all able to come visit. I thought it was going to be crazy having all of us in one house but it was super fun! We are so very thankful to Ken & Peggy for everything they did to make this trip happen.
We started off the trip a little rough as when we showed up at Omaha airport they told us our flight was full and we were being re-routed to STL. The flight to STL left in 5 minutes and we would have a 7 hour layover. Yikes! Luckily my mom was able to come pick us up so that we were able to get out of the airport for a while. Kinley enjoyed seeing Grandma for a while. They took a train ride and played in the mall for a while. Thanks mom for making our layover so much better!
At first, Kinley was scared of the beach and didn't want anything to do with it. But by the 2nd time out she loved it. She really enjoyed playing in the sand and then running out to the water to wash off. She never really became enjoyed the waves or water splashing up on her but she did like wading out to knee height and wave "jumping" in my arms.
Kinley had a blast playing with all the older kids. She especially took a liking to Morgan. It was adorable because she would do anything as long as Morgan was doing it with her. Adorable! The kids played on the slide, had watermelon fights, went fishing, and did arts & crafts with Gammy daily. Kinley fit right in! It was so nice to watch her interact with all the kids and all of them were so good with her. Plus, she gained about 10 new words during that short trip. Amazing what being around big kids will do.
We had such an amazing trip and can't wait till next year!
