The Sea Life Aquarium

 Grandmother and Granddad came in town for the 4th of July. On the 5th, we decided to treat ourselves with something out of the ordinary since we do live in the Dallas area. There are lots of fun things around to do. We headed over to the Sea Life Aquarium at Grapevine Mills. This was great because it was indoors, the kids could run around, and we got to see some neat ocean life from cool perspectives. 
 Brother/sister love!
 He has the sweetest grin ever! (and somehow he knows it!)
 If you know Mabry well, you know that she can be timid about certain things that she deems scary. After the aquarium, we decided to walk through the stores at the mall. There they had these giant 'hamster balls' that you could pay to play in, float on water, and try to stand. Mabry decided this is what she wanted to do. We were shocked and proud when she followed through, got in, and had a blast. I have to say that this may be a small moment to some, but this was a proud parent moment for Chad and me. She's growing up!
 After Mabry had her fun, it was Clark's turn to ride on some cars for a few quarters. 
It was a great day out and I am so grateful that Grandmother and Granddad enjoyed it with us!

The Beach 2013

 We love our Huffman family vacations! This summer we were blessed with another wonderful beach trip to Gulf Shores with 15 of us. The best part about it is that we all get to stay in the same condo that is right on the beach! We got to have lots of play time with cousins and some game nights after the kiddos went to bed! Beach + Family + Play time = Vacation Fun!
Clark is such a boy! Sand from head to toe!
  Daddy's Girl!
 Momma's Boy!
 She is our sunkissed cutie!
 Clark learned to navigate that sand but he wasn't a fan of it at first.
We are so thankful for this time at the beach and grateful that we have fun family to share it with. We are already looking forward to our next trip!
