When you are single or married without kids, a family vacation sounds blissful. Once we had children, we quickly realized whoever coined the term "family vacation" was full of crap. You can go on vacation, or you can take your family with you, but when you consider the whole choice of activities, the constant vigil to prevent death and/or dismemberment, the feeding, the entertaining, etc, etc, the whole "family vacation" is not happenin'. It's strictly a business trip with the family.
That being said, we took a family business trip to Corpus. What a fantastic time! We brought Vivia with us and met up with Gaea, Majid, Solomon and Adam.
Zekers loves everything about the beach.
Elijah enjoyed the freedom of few boundaries.
Daisy is modeling her birthday swimsuit from Aunt Gaea {not to be confused with her actual birthday suit}.
Vivia and her 5 grandkids with their Great Uncle Lacy (Clay's brother who lives in Corpus).

The whole family, all 10 of us at one point, were working together on a water project engineered by Zeke. He was a good project manager; he instructed us on what needed to be done and he told me once I had worked hard and I could take a break.
None of the kids could get enough pool time, including this little guy.

Wove. Twue wove.
The weather was great, the beach was magnificent, the pool was fun, the company was phenomenal. And it wasn't much work. I dare say we almost had a family vacation.
