2005 group
When Lu was 1 year and 3 months old and B was 2 1/2 we took them to South Padre Island for the first time. I had grown up spending countless hours there as a child and teen and wanted my children to have the same opportunity. So, 3 of my favorite cousins and their families plus our family rented a condo for a week and had a blast! We swam in the pool and explored the beach. The kids loved it and the adults had a blast as well!
It was such amazing fun that we returned the next summer (2003). My cousins and their families where unable to make the trip, but Mimi and Papa came with us. Again, the boys had a blast and I knew that we were onto a great vacation idea!
The following summer, we took some of our closest friends with us and again, could not believe what an awesome vacation it turned out to be. The kids are entertained all day - with a larger than life sand box or swimming or shell collecting....it is so fun to watch as they explore the world around them and find new treasures!
So, summer of 2005 even MORE families came along for the ride. And our group has continued to grow each year! (Sadly, I did not get a digital camera Christmas of 04 so I have no digital pictures to share of those first few trips. I am going to try and find the older pics and scan them in, but for now you will have to enjoy the most current photos!)
For 2007 we had 7 families come........it was the best trip yet and we have already booked our rooms for 2008. The laughter and fun on these trips are indescribable and our friendships continue to grow along with our children.
The Lord has truly blessed us with many amazing opportunities and this is one of our all-time favorites!
