Easter Weekend

We did a weekend getaway for Easter to Port Aransas. It was a quick trip, but fun to relax on the beach and play pickleball and games. It started with a scare at the beach, though. I instructed my boys that I didn't want any of them going out too deep in the water and definitely not alone due to the trauma of Carter getting caught in a riptide when he was 11 and almost drowning. It felt like deja vu when Alex was far out in the water by herself, and she would disappear below water for periods of time. She couldn't hear any of us yelling at her, even as Kari went in the water after her. When the water got too deep for Kari, she yelled back at the beach to call 911. Thankfully, Alex felt safe the whole time; she had reached a sand dune and was diving below water with her goggles, exploring under water. Carter reached her first to tell her we were all worried about her. It was a big commotion with the rescue team arriving; we were all so glad that she was safe!
