First Family Vacation!


We had the chance to go with family to South Padre Island last week. Our brother-in-law's family owns a house there, so we didn't have to pay for a hotel room, and we got to avoid camping on the beach! :) Which always seems like a good idea, but is almost never as fun as you think! Anyway, James & Kaycee had a blast, Randi did not. In fact, that is an understatement! She HATED the beach and everything about it! The picture above is actually day #2. We learned day #1 that the only way she would sleep was in her carseat. And, since she was asleep when we got there, and it was her first (and late) nap of the day, Daddy decided to leave her be and just carried the entire thing down to the water with her still strapped in. Hard to do as it is, but when walking in sand, lets just say it was a bit more difficult that he expected!



The kids really like the Sea Turtle Research Center. It was awesome to see all the rescued turtles, and it was even more awesome that admission was only donations! Cheap vacation entertainment is always a plus!
