Three years ago, we had a very eventful summer. I took kids to Washington DC, we moved back to West Texas, and then we went to the beach as a family of 3. Little did any of us know, we were actually going to be a family of 4 in a few short months. We decided that we should go back to the beach this summer. Jordan loved the beach the first time she went, so we were sure that Carter would love it too! Our first stop was San Antonio for the night, because honestly a 9 hour car ride with a two year old would be a little much. We went downtown and visited the Alamo and Riverwalk before heading back to our hotel. We stayed at the La Cantera resort which was very nice; I highly recommend it. A beautiful golf course, awesome rooms, great activities for kids, and 3 pools! We spent our afternoon swimming, eating s'mores, and Jordan even went to the movie on the lawn. The next day, we were up and off to Padre. If you've never made this trip, it is very LONG. The girls did great though. We were so lucky that our friends the Braswells were able to go with us, and all of the kids had fun. We got up everyday, ate some cereal, went to the beach and played (or in Carter's case played at the beach for a very short amount of time before going back to the pool), came back for lunch and a nap, then back to the beach for more playing. The bigger kids (dads included) attempted to surf, we all boogie boarded, and searched for shells. In the evening the dads and older kids would go crab hunting. It was an awesome time, and we are planning on making it a tradition to go every summer.

Cowabunga! Surfing is sooo much fun! I’m sure Carter will learn to love the waves soon as she spends more time in the water. I, on the other hand, can already see myself diving with my surfing board and going up against those waves! ^-~
