Much Needed Beach Time

This past weekend we went to South Padre Island with my family. When I say family what I really mean is, yes my immediate family, but also some of my extended family was there as well. It was, shall we say, a small family reunion. It was so great to see some aunts, cousins, second cousins, and uncle that I haven't seen in a while. Possibly the whole year. I didn't even take my camera because all these ladies are very talented with the camera so I am going to lovingly steal some photos from them. We got to spend time relaxing, fishing, and swimming and swimming and swimming. If Garrett had it his way we would have swam day and night. Probably even slept in the pool.

On our way home we stopped in my second favorite place (you see the first is the beach, you may have thought that I would say the lake, but truth be told it is the beach)...anyway we stopped in Gruene for some lunch at the Gristmill. Another favorite you might not know about me is that I love the sounds of summer. I am a child of summer, wouldn't love anything more than it being summer year round. If I began to list all the things about summer that I love you would be here till the end of summer reading about it. The number one sound is locust in the trees on a hot summer afternoon. So my afternoon was bliss.

Stay tuned.....
