South Padre Island

I know, I know it has been way to long since my last post. We are on vacation now and it is great. I was all excited about posting from down here and sending pictures of the kids for all to see in the ocean. When we got here I realized I forgot the cord to download pics. So this picture is just one I found online that looked like S. Padre (kinda).

We are having a great time. Jacksen and Jennah are having a blast in the ocean and Joel just crawls straight into the waves. When we go to get him he gets so mad! Jacksen watched a discovery channel special on sharks last night and I really didn't think he would get in the ocean but he went as far as Jonathan would take him. Jennah is content to find shells and play in the sand. Joel has tried to eat the shells and sand. There was a family on the beach last night that had flash lights and they were chasing and catching crabs. The kids thought it was neat so I thing we may try that tonight.

The trip down here took fourteen and a half hours. We stayed in Dallas the first night and that was just four hours out of town (I told Jonathan we needed to go further the first day). Sunday we traveled ten and a half hours! It was rough. I think I had food poisoning and was sick all day. So Jonathan had to drive the entire time. We brought our laptop for the kids to watch movies on but the car adaptor wouldn't work. So they only got to watch about fifty minutes of a movie before the battery went dead. They did well though!
