We started our summer off with a weekend trip to Padre Island with a bunch of friends and we had a blast! The kids did great the entire time and nobody ended up too crispy. Here are some pics:

At the hotel pool - Time: 4:30pm
Lillie is our little fish. Never had a swimming lesson but can paddle all over the deep end
with no trouble. She was all about doing things with the big kids on this trip.
Samuel and Grant with the big girls Ashley and Kirsten. These girls were good mommies to them
Still in the pool at 9:30 pm. Yeah, we were a tad wrinkly.

Our man-made tidal pool. Surprisingly this lasted about 2 hours before it washed away. It was good for Grant who spent the 1st part of the day afraid to get in the ocean.
Big Helper. Grant spent many hours with the shovel and sand on this day.
Yea! A picture of Tim and I together. The 2nd one on this post. These are rare occurrences.
Samuel and Grant loved hanging out with the Big Boys. And the guys were
really patient with Grant who kept putting sand back into the hole.
Tim and the very tip top of Lillie's head. He took her out pretty deep
and she almost flipped a couple of times. She is a little dare-devil.
From here you can't tell but only about an inch of Grant's head was visible from the top of this hole when you looked at him from far away. I had to build those steps so
he could get in and out on his own. He spent much of his day in here digging away.
It was built well away from the tide to prevent his drowning in it.
Our entire group minus the Baldwin's who had to leave early.
Fun times! We love living close the beach and are hoping that we'll find the time to go back once more before the summer is over.
