Fun in the Sun!

A couple weeks ago, we took a quick trip to the Texas coast. South Padre island is about 30 minutes max from the Mexico border. The sand there is different than anywhere else on the Texas Gulf coast-it is actually clean, white and free of debris! It was a much needed trip for us as a family-the boys needed a change of scenery and I too needed a big distraction from the day before we left when I had to put my cat to sleep. Anyways, I loved just watching the boys play and actually get along-amazing what happens when video game systems are taken out of the picture! ha! Eric has the strong Hispanic gene in him-so he browned to the point of looking burgundy! :) Blake and Trey lived in the sand simply digging...not building anything interesting...just digging holes. Should I be worried! ;) We threw diets out the window when we left and stuffed our faces with anything we could get our hands on that would ensure instant diabetes or heart attack. My only gripe is that 18 total hours of Spongebob playing on the DVD player on the back of my headrest was enough to make me want to swim across the border and take my chances with Homeland Security!
