South Padre

Whew! It has been a CRAZY month of August. We have been going non-stop with such fun things to do, but it sure does feel good to slow down a little!

Two weeks ago, we went to South Padre Island with my family. We were excited to get everyone together for a vacation. David & I realized on the way down there that this was our first time back to a beach since our honeymoon - far too long!

We went down on Thursday & were able to fly, which was GREAT since it would've been over 9 hours to drive. It was such a relaxing weekend - sitting on the beach, eating great food, sleeping, etc. It is so fun to get to watch Connor & Kate interact the older they get. I imagine it is only going to get better & better (that is until they start biting & fighting!)

They both loved the beach - Connor especially! He would say "whee!" everytime he heard the waves. We definitely created lots of fun memories for their first trips to the beach!

Here are some pictures from the weekend...

Cole & Kristin brought their wagon - it was a great way to take the kids down to the beach so we could carry all their stuff!

This is the life.

There were 2 walls of mirrors in our condo - Kate LOVED them! She spent most of her time talking to herself & kissing herself in the mirror!



She was GREAT on the plane. Both ways she was able to have her own seat - on the way there we even got to take the carseat on and she slept in it for awhile.




We rode from Harlingen to Houston on the way back with Cole, Kristin & Connor. Both kids are such good travelers!

Thank you Mom & Dad for such a fun trip!!!
