South Padre

We recently vacationed in South Padre Island, TX and it was GRAND!  We absolutely loved it.  It was a totally cool, laid back, beachy-vibe area.  Our rental was gorgeous, had its own private pool and jacuzzi on the back patio {which the girl's could not get enough of} AND our own private beach access!  Perfect!

While we were there, we didn't do too much, but we visited some memorable places.  Second only to parasailing {which Justin and all 4 kiddos got to do} was visiting a little place called Sea Turtle, Inc.  They rescue and rehabilitate injured sea turtles.  It was extraordinary to get up close and personal with these creatures; to hear of the unfortunate events that brought them to STI and if/when they would be fully rehabilitated and released.  The girls thought this was awesome!

We also did a bird and nature preserve walk.  I've got to admit, when its 92 degrees outside with 85% or more humidity, nobody was thrilled with the idea of walking around outside to see this preserve.  But boy are we glad we did!  We saw tons of awesome birds {up close and personal}, sea turtles, dozens and dozens of fish and even an alligator! Everyone agreed, it was worth the sweat!


On our way to SPI, we stopped by San Antonio and
taught the girls a little Texas history!

Beautiful, beachy Bella.

Look closely.  That's JTS and Mia.  You can tell by
the long legs and the shorts legs!

A rare moment of sibling love, unscripted and caught on camera!
