This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Fun in the Sun!

So I was trying to start a new post but the option never showed up at the top of the blog. It took me a while to realize that I was signed in as Hannah Tolleson and the authorized person to post is Hannah Shook.... I guess I'm getting used to having Tolleson as my last name :-).


James and I are doing well. We enjoyed a week of vacation together before James started his new job with the UT Office of Admissions. We drove to the Texas Coast and camped on the beach of Mustang Island. You can see our camp site in the picture below. The sunset and the moonrise were spectacular! There is also a picture of the seagull who decided we might be a good bet for a meal and a crab hole. Once the sun set, the crabs came out of their holes. The beach was covered in white/sandy colored crabs of all sizes. We would walk from the camp fire to our chairs or from the chairs to the tent and the crabs would all scurry to find a safer place. The next morning all of the crab holes had scratch marks around them like you can see in the third picture. Swimming in the warm water was refreshing and eating local seafood was delicious!







James has been working hard and has one more vacation before I start school again in August. We are flying to NYC this Saturday and will be staying with Mary and Kurtis! We're hoping to see a jazz performance, visit the 911 Memorial, check out Coney Island, take advantage of NYC's restaurant week, and of course spend as much time with Mary and Kurtis as possible!


We hope everyone is doing well and staying cool. Three days until the Olympics Opening Ceremony!


God's Blessings,
Hannah and James
