After Christmas, we spent the weekend on South Padre Island. The weather was great for two days and a little cool for two days, but we had a lot of fun. We went with Uncle Travis, and Aunt Audrey and Javier, and Troy really enjoyed playing with them. We boogie boarded and made sand castles and collected shells on the warm days, and then saw the sea turtles at the refuge and went on an Eco Boat Tour on the cool days. Troy was scared at first when we went out on the beach, due to the noise of the ocean, then after a minute or so he tore across the sand as fast as he could. Once he realized he could go in the water, he waded out and first thought the ground was moving with the ebb and flow of the water and he almost fell over, but it didn't take long for him to figure out his feet didn't move with the water and he would run back and forth from the waves, which was hours of fun by itself. There were not many people there so nothing was ever crowded and we never had to wait for anything which helps when you have a toddler! I think Troy really enjoyed his first vacation!
Troy got to hold a starfish on our Eco Tour. We didn't see any dolphins but they drug a net behind the boat and we got to look at alot of marine life, which was neat.
This is Jerry, a huge turtle that was healing at the refuge.

Troy loved feeding the birds on the beach.

That looks like so much fun...I love the pic of Troy feeding the birds!
I love the picture of you and Troy with the wind blowing, its sweet.
You are looking so great! Thanks for the sweet comments on my blog and for the prayers. All that matters is that we all have healthy babies right? It seems like when one person gives birth another gets pregnant... I think Laura needs to try for another now. :)
