Vacation Part 2: South Padre Island


We have an annual tradition of going to the beach each summer. This year we met the Sheppard's in South Padre Island and rented a condo together. This is the way to go! We took turns cooking and had game night every night after the kids went to bed. The pool was closed so we got two of our nights for free.

The beach was beautiful! We found lots of great shells.

Darren and Gavin pretty much surfed all day, every day. Jerry and Sam also tried surfing, but I wasn't able to get a good picture of them. Poor Jerry got a really bad sunburn on the first day!

Here are the girls "surfing" and playing together.

Samantha stayed inside most of the time, but when she came out, her hair got sooo curly!!!


These are my favorite pictures of Miles:



And, of course, what visit to the beach would be complete without a sand castle?
We're already looking forward to next year!
