Padre Island 2010

We had a wonderful trip to Padre Island this weekend. The boys had a blast splashing in the ocean and digging in the sand. I am so glad we took the time to have a family trip before the busy school year starts. This is definitely going to be the first of many trips to the beach with the boys.

It was Luke's first time to see the ocean and he loved it! He made friends very quickly with a young couple who loved their Dos Equis and enjoyed partying with them. The last time Tyler went to the beach, he was one year old. For over a month, he had been talking about going to the beach. As we drove down I-37, he kept squealing "I'm going to the beach!" As soon as we got to our hotel, we could not get the boys swimsuits on fast enough. They were ready! Bring on the surf and sand.

There is something so relaxing about going to the beach, watching and hearing the waves crash on shore. The smell of the sea, the mist, the seagulls, the shells. We were in heaven, if only for just two days.
