A Hotel, A Cousin, An Aunt and An Uncle

On Thanksgiving we stayed at the Hampton Inn at Corpus Christi. It was right next to our favorite beach! At  the beach, there were a bunch of blue things that looked like jellyfish. We haven't quite figured out what they are yet.

 Kate seemed to really like building sand castles, but she never got in the water, except in the pool!                   

  

 

If you look in Kate's hand she is holding one of her mermaids, which we dove 

for in the pool after she threw them in. 

Like most other families, we like to bury each other in the sand. Here is one of my dad's masterpieces:

 

It was hard for 7 people to fit in one hotel room, so my mom and dad slept on

the fold out, MC slept with my uncle on one bed, Kate slept with my aunt on the other bed, and  I slept on the chair.

 We rode a ferry that carries people and when we got off we took a few pictures (We went for a more natural look this time)





Happy Beach Days!

Mollie-Claire....Toothless Wonder

We now, have a Toothless Wonder living with us. My Mom, Dad, and I are all very weak stomached after about a week of begging, while Dad was watching baseball little MC kept going on and on about wanting one of her two loose teeth out. Dad got so annoyed he gave in, he got the pliers and yanked it right out of her mouth, which made the other one so loose she pulled it out. It fell down the sink drain. :( We asked her what lesson she learned and she said "not to pull them by the drain" a piece of her gum is dangling so Mom is afraid to drink after her.she thinks it will fall out then her germs will get in her mouth. (what a germaphoab)

New House, New School, New Friends

I've had to make new friends (don't worry Had) and everyone here is nice not like just regular nice, but scary nice! It is so dry and bare there's nothing here,

this is pretty much George West:

I would have put entertainment but nothing here except going to football games  is actually entertaining! On weekends the only 2 places you can ever find us are home, or the beach. (if were home I'm rollerblading, or sitting here avoiding all sunlight, while blogging.)

The good thing I've never mentioned before?

Mom gets to live out "her song" Chilling on the Dirt Road. (another one of the only things to do here.)

Springsuits and Mama's Big Board

We went to South Padre and looked for a surfboard, we drove, and drove, and finally found a place with a perfect board for Mom. When we got there I got on my Springsuit (which took quite a while). You usually would see great tags on things like Comfortable! Keeps you warm! I've got a few things to add to that tag: 
-Holds Pee at Your Waist!
-Freezes Your Butt!
-Chokes and/or Suffocates You!
-is the Most Uncomfortable Thing You've Ever Tried On!
These really seem to describe Springsuits. Mom's new surfboard is yellow,grey and black, like my Springsuit. It is one that has the foamy stuff on the top it was about 300$. We only found two places that sold surfboards! My Mom thinks of not going to the beach for about two weeks is the point that her head is going to go flying into space, I try to tell her that other people in George West haven't been in years!  Even though the Surfboard and Kayak are very tempting.

Seagulls, Trucks, and a Big Beach

We went to Port Aransas and borrowed a surf board, I boogie boarded most of the time. We fed the seagulls. I didn't get to finish my sandwich because they chased me for it the last bit of it, and stole it out of my hand. On the way back MC tried to signal every big truck to honk, on her 50th try she finally got someone to do it and when they did she got so exited her head hit the car ceiling! She was screaming "I did it!!!"  when she calmed down we were already halfway home. It just goes to show you, Mollie and Big Trucks are a bad mix.

Roaring River

We went on a hike while we stayed at a cabin in Roaring River . The Hike was high, Only My sister, My Mom, and I went. My Dad stayed at the Hatchery and looked at fish. we hiked high and guess what we decided to do whe we got to the top....meditate!

                                                                              when we got down we went to the game room and played games all night.

We went fishing too! Mollie caught a fish right when she put her line in the water:

This is my fish-lizard I caught:



Just Plain Ol' Mollie

At my Dad's Softball Camp we were supposed to say our name a food and a place that all started with the same letter and Mollie said I can't believe no one's thought of this Mollie-Claire, Mac & Cheese, 'Merica! Later on she found out it is America and had to change hers.  

Mollie has had tons of mess ups and I'm going to tell you a few. She has said the YMCmay instead of YMCA, Puglet instead of piglet, and LipChap instead of Chap stick.

Dawsen or Justin Bieber:

Lyrics:
I just want to feel the love that my heart,
I have 2 boyfriends, but they just broke up,
I'm gonna tell them (dramatic pause) their names,
Justin Beaver, Dawsen,
He really likes me he didn't break up,
But Justin Beaver I know his favorite color is purple,
But Dawsen's favorite color (dramatic pause) is blue,
So i'll just take that rock, off that hat.

My Recipies

Crayon-Cakes

1. Get a muffin tin and grease
2. Gather old crayons and peel off paper
3. Break crayons up into little peices (we put the crayons in a ziploc bag and beat them with a rolling pin)
4. Put crayon peices in the muffin tin and heat at 200 degrees
5. Wait until completely melted and let dry until hardened (you might have to put them in the freezer for a few minutes and pop them out).


Feet Worth Feeling

1. Get out a bowl, salt, olive oil, and basil or something with scent (like soap or lemon juice).
2. Mix salt and olive oil 
3. After all mixed up put it on your feet and wash it off 
5. Feel your feet. 


Brownie Magic

1. Get out brownie mix and make the brownies
2. While brownies are cooking get out the coacoa powder, butter, and sugar
3. Heat in microwave for about 20 seconds
4. Keep tasting until how much you have in there tastes good to you
5. When the brownies are done poke tons of holes halfway through and pour fudge on them.

The Beach

We just came back from the beach we went to Corpus Cristy, Rockport, and Port Aransas we bought boogie boards, mine had an orange peace sign with a purple background. Mollie's had 3 dolphins with a rainbow background with black polka dots. We started far but then found out it's easier to catch waves up close.                                                 

We also went to a place called the Funky Zebra.

 

The Wonderful City......... Branson

We went to Branson for our vacation. We ate at tons of cool places, one was all music themed! We also got to go to the Titanic Museum, and each of us got a little card that said a real person's name on the Titanic, in the end we found out if they lived or not, My mom's person I was sure was going to live she had the most luggage on board! Mollie I felt the same way too, she got a famous fashion designer: Lucy, Lady Duff Gordon. But all me and my dad got were plain old people, my dad's name was Archibald Butt, I forgot mines name, (see it was so boring I forgot her name!) Why did I not get anything cool! no fashion designer, no giant amounts of luggage I didn't even get a mailman! Now for the moment of truth, Mollie, Me and My mom's all lived, I guess people with the last name Butt weren't ment to survive. 

                                                                                                                                                       

we also took pictures with their mascots:

 

We also saw Chinese acrobats we got our hair done it was fun! We took pictures with our favorite acrobats

 

And guess what else we did..... Tried on hats! 



We also took an old time photo at a (fake) saloon!

DuckTape Things

We were walking in Walmart and we were right next to the DuckTape, I said could we buy a roll of DuckTape I want to try doing something with it. we ended up buying 3 rolls one polkadotted, one leopard, and one blue. We wrapped purses, flip-flops and headbands. We were so exited we may have gotten a little carried away with it.

Science Camp

My Top 5 Things I did at Science Camp 

5. Swimming: because I played "Shark" with my friends Hanna, Hadley, and Dominic. 

4. Crime Lab: because I got to solve the "crime" of the Albino deer. 

3. Rocket Launching: because I got to build and launch my very own rocket. 

2. Fishing: because I got to use a type of fishing pole I've never used before. 

1. Canoeing: because I had never been canoeing before and I got to do it with my friends. 



Country Living

When my Dad said, get ready for country Living, he really meant it. Mollie is feeding her stray cat named Jealous, (to keep the rattlesnakes away). She even says she's ready for a baby pig and a Puglet (her way of saying a piglet and a baby pug). Everything outside is dead.
Nothing but cacti is growing, there has been no rain for weeks! Here is a picture of the heaty dreadfulness:      

  

Fitting with the cacti everywhere. My dad's welcome plant was..........3 cactuses!                   


The good news? the beach is just an hour away, and  we're heading there tonight.
