Texas Vacation - Port Aransas Day 3, part 2

For Locke's FIRST BIRTHDAY celebration, we had a big party.  We grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and invited the Lewis and Shober clans to our condo.  We even baked Locke a birthday cake with blue frosting and fish sprinkles -- we were celebrating at the ocean, afterall!  He loved smashing the cake and frosting all over his face and all over his Mommy too.  He opened presents from his family and then was ready for bed after a long, fun-filled day.  I can't believe my little baby is already one year old.

Ledger and his big cousins made a plan to go hunting for hermit crabs after dark.  They loaned Ledger a head lamp and we all headed out to the beach.  Ledger was so brave and willing to reach out and touch the crabs right away -- something his big boy cousins wouldn't even do!  I was so proud of how well he kept up with his cousins Nate and Logan.  The whole thing made me ridiculously happy to see how much fun Ledger was having.  It was my favorite night of the vacation.  If you've made it this far, WATCH THE VIDEO!  It's 3 minutes long, but a lot of fun!
