Ben had a week off in April. I know, right? Living the life. So we took advantage of it and pulled the kids out of school for a couple of days and headed down to our old stomping ground in the valley. We convinced our friends, the Ottos, to come with us (Rick randomly had the same week off, he is also a resident). So two families, eight kids all reserved rooms in the Padre South Hotel right on the beach. It was lovely.
Faye, Sara, Clark, Carson, Eva, Isla, Myra, Everett. Listen to how our names match up (in age order even): Clark-Carson; Eva-Everett; Myra-Faye (Y names), Isla-Sara (A names). We didn't even meet until a year ago either! Just both riding the same name-brain-wave.
We settled right into our hotel room. There were two bedrooms and a pull out bed, so everyone had a comfortable place to sleep! Sara even tried sleeping in a big girl bed for the first time ever! She only fell out a couple of times the first night. Then she figured it out. We played at the beach, played in the hot tub, saw the sea turtle sanctuary, the boys went fishing, we ate quite a lot and watched Animal Planet (of course).

We love South Padre Island. We love Dirty Al's. We love the beach. For an interesting story of Sara's elevator adventure, check out
