Happy 4th of July

We celebrated the 4th of July with some of our friends in Corpus Christi. Dusty, one of Kurt's close friends from high school, invited us to come up as well as 3 other couple friends of ours. We arrived on Friday and hit the beach. That night we ate great, fresh seafood and called it a night. It's amazing how tired you are after staying in the sun all day.
On Saturday we decided to check out the Texas State Aquarium that was only blocks away from the condo we were staying in. It was lots of fun, but as you would know, the dolphin show (best part of the aquarium) was outside and just happened to be at 12pm, in the heat of the day! We were all sweating our butts off by the time the outdoor show was over and were ready to be in the pool. We decided to do the pool after being at the beach on Friday and having trouble finding a spot in the water to cool off without stepping on a jellyfish - they were everywhere. We hung at the pool on Saturday and then Kyle grilled some amazing hamburgers for us on Saturday night. We ate burgers and watched fireworks from the balcony of the condo. Lots of fun!

Just a side note for some of the pictures: While we were at the pool we discovered an owl (not real) just hanging out by the side of the pool. We decided it looked like he could use a dip in the pool, so we took the opportunity to take pictures with the owl while it was in the water.

The infamous owl...




Kyle decided to smother the owl.





I was the picture taker on this one.






Happy Birthday America....as Kurt was saying all weekend long.
