South Padre Vaca

So we've been a little spoiled this summer and just got back from our second 4-day vacation to South Padre! This was a really long overdue beach vacation for us. Tyler has asked to go to the beach and play in the sand for the past three summers and unfortunately, it just never worked out due to something.... either Kinley being a baby and/or a horrible car rider or illnesses (when we actually did have plans to go to Galveston). It was kind of sad when Tyler made my Mother's Day card at pre-k this year and said that his favorite thing to do with his Mommy was go to the beach in Texas. Ooopse! We owed this little guy a fun beach trip and after our vacation to Cali and Disney, I think we all needed a more relaxing get-a-way!

First evening at the beach after playing in the condo pool.




















Schlitterbahn and not many pictures for obvious reasons, but the kids had so much fun! ;-)








Sunset, dinner and fireworks at Pier 19


















Our fancy beach set-up. Travis is pretty handy to have around. ;-)












This is NOT staged! Love these lovebugs!






Putt-Putt after dinner at Louie's Backyard. I didn't get very many good pictures, but this one of Kinley's "Oh yeah!" expression after getting her ball in the hole cracks.me.up!!

Who can resist a little fishing at the coast? NOT Travis! :-) We did a quick charter and actually scored some pretty yummy mangrove snapper.
















Kinley didn't want to get too close. ;-)




What 6 hours of driving looks like in the back seat.
