Special Edition: South Padre Island 2013


Welcome to the beach!
Where it's perfectly acceptable to throw sand.
And be cheesy.
And get chased by Dada!
Our adorable nephew, Jackson. (JackPat)
Just like Dada.
The only pic of all three boys on the beach! Starting on a sand castle. I only took the good camera down to the beach on the first day for about thirty minutes...I was too afraid of getting sand in it and ruining it!
The only little lady of our group...Miss Kennedy!
Our nephew John (JohnBoy/Juan Diego) swimming with his Pa.
Pinkie, Pa, and all their babes.
Plenty of sun in those cheeks after day one!
Lots, and lots, and lots of stories were read in our spare time.
I LOVE this picture. Obviously because my babe looks just like my dad. (you pulled the long straw, Sir...Pa was a hotty in his younger years...and still is!) But look at the two in the background. Can't you just see the shenanigans in the making between two sweet cousins? 
Dada and Ru.
All my guys. Grant was not a fan of the water. 
He definitely had a melt down or two...and was obsessed with wearing Kennedy's pink shoes!
These two sure do love each other!
Aunt Casey introduced Rudy to beef jerky!
Aunt Abby and sweet baby Will going for a swim. (Guillermo Marcos)
Don't let the pic fool you...these two were at each other's throats most of the time!
Pool side baseball!
Movie Star! 
Story time with Pinkie.
And this definitely went down. As a tradition, all the girls had to have matching jammies! We are cool like that.
Watching scooter videos with Dada!
Two brothers playing.
JackPat looooved Uncle Marky.
Camp Hefferly with our awesome condo in the background. (the one farthest to the right)
You would think we had a mommy-and-me swim class...
Morning walk on the beach with my babes.
Two sweet brothers walking.
Morning with my Grant-ness.
Attempting to play king of the hill with Dada
Loved spending time with my love.
No trip to Padre is complete without visiting the Shark Store!
Gimme those eyes and that smile! 
And leave it to us to drive past a skate park an hour in to our trip home and wind up stopping for roughly forty-five minutes. These boys LOVE it.
And this guy has gotten mighty good.
Not to mention still the most adorable person alive.
The little ones got to enjoy the playground while the big guys rode the skate park.
Weeeeee!
Agreeing to be friends for the sake of the bumble bee ride.
And it's safe to say we ALL felt like this by the end of the trip! What a wonderful, fun-filled vacation!
