Family Vacation

We took our very first family vacation this past week. Neal, Cameron, and I all loaded up in the car and drove 8.5 hours down to South Padre Island. We met Neal's family there and had a mini family reunion. Cami had her first experience with sand, the ocean, and boats. For the most part she loved it all. It was great for the whole family to get away and we loved watching Cami learn and experience new things and environments. We took a lot of pictures but here are some of the best ones...

Checking out the boats from the deck behind the house we stayed at. First steps on the beach.

I was showing her sea shells. She LOVED all the birds on the beach. She pointed at each one!

So unhappy.

This was the first day on the beach. She got upset when the waves came

up and hit her in the tummy.This is one of those pic's we can't wait

to show her when she is older.

The next day at the beach was better.

Daddy and Cami playing in the sand...

where it is safe.

Cami's first boat ride.

The family on the boat.

Nini and Pepe walking on the beach with Cami.

This is my favorite picture!

Her favorite thing to do, play with

plastic spoons in the sand.

So happy in the dry and safe sand.

Grabbing a starfish at the touch tank

at the Port Isabel aquarium.

She had no idea that thing was alive!

I hadn't held a starfish before.

It was neat!

Checking out the huge lobster.
