We ended up having to take an unscheduled trip to the border because of new visa laws here. We have a million irons in the fire right now as we are organizing Christmas parties for 400 children (including presents, a meal, cake, candy, puppet show, clown show, etc and so forth - and we hold the parties in nice locations, like hotels or restaurants, so the kids can get out of their institutional environment.) Anyway, going on a trip was the last thing on our minds, but I'm glad we ended up going, as we had a few fun days together as a family before the Christmas craziness. (I say a few, as I don't count the 19 hours up and the 19 hours back as "fun".)
We found a hotel for a very good price right on the beach of South Padre Island and spent one of our days there just enjoying the surf, sand and when it decided to grace us with it's presence... sun. The main beach was covered with seaweed and jellyfish, but we drove out to the end of the island that is a state park and that was quite beautiful. Lots of shell hunting and gorgeous, white "sand dudes" as Bub calls them.
The wind was intense, but our Mr. Preshy (short for Precious) handled it amazingly well. Bub just loved it and had so much fun.
Our beautiful Shell Bell.
I love the look of sheer, unadulterated joy on his face.

yup, the photo of Bub is Awesome! Glad you got to spend some quality family time at the beach! :)
Aww, how nice. The beach looks awesome, and Mr. Preshy is EXTREMELY squishable and dorkalicious. I must have him. Please send for Christmas.
Pretty pics, nice times! Yay.
