Matagorda Fishing, Doggy, Family Reunion 2009 (updated with video)

The family (including our two dogs Paxil and Domino) took a four day weekend trip to Matagorda Bay. Over the last several years it has become a tradition to rent a beach house for a partial family reunion for my father's birthday. Up until Ike's devastation of Boliver Peninsula we stayed there. We gave Matagorda a try this time. We met up with my parents, Unkie Jude, Kerry, and the four dogs, Belle, Sassy, Minnie, and Shiva.

Friday afternoon Tony went fishing and caught a 20 inch red fish. He brought it home to show to Matthew but he didn't show much interest in it. It was a little rainy Saturday but Sunday Tony took Matthew with him.

Matthew also spent a little time exploring the beach with me.

Of course he also had to explore the water. He really enjoyed his toe dipping this time, unlike the first time in December of 2007.

UPDATE: Here is video of Matthew splashing in the water. Warning: It was a windy day so the video is a bit loud. :-(

On the last day we took a stroll on the beach with Matthew and then had fun with the cooler.
