South Padre!!

Woohoo! We spent last weekend in the "Great Valley" (as Sara calls it - she's really into The Land Before Time right now) for Chad's grandma's 95th birthday celebrate (more on that later). On Friday, we had beautiful weather and took the girls out to South Padre Island. We went to the county beach were it was quiet and just gorgeous. I couldn't get over just how blue the water was. Perfect.

Anyway, Sara has gotten over her fear of the waves and pretty much just jumped right in (despite the water being frigid). Chad convinced her it was more fun to play along the shoreline and collect shells because he was not willing to venture into the ice-cold water. They spent a considerable amount of time walking along the shoreline looking for shells. Sara also learned about what she calls "jelly beans" (aka jelly fish) and to avoid them. And, she developed a new fear for seagulls when they pretty much tried to attack her when she was holding out her chicken strip.

Georgia also LOVED the beach. She couldn't get enough of the sand (and tried to taste it a few times). And, she also had fun playing in the water with Daddy. She is much more fearless than Sara was at this age. Georgia also tried strawberries for the first time and ate them up! Enjoy the pictures :)
