2009 Padre Island







We just go back from a special family vacation down at South Padre Island. We arrived at our condo on Friday and stayed with family that live near there in the Valley.








Our condo overlooked the beach and was very nice!





We had dinner every night together and we even celebrated Cari's birthday there. Friday night we watch fireworks from one of the condo's balcony. Our girls had a lot of fun swimming and playing with their cousins Haley and Katie.







On Saturday Chad and I got up early and went down to the beach to watch the sun rise. It was very beautiful and peaceful there. After breakfast we all headed down to the beach to hang out until lunch.








Cari enjoyed the sand and Cami enjoyed the waves. They both loved when Dad took them out far in the boat.








That evening we all ate at Pirate's Landing and had fun while waiting for our table.









Afterwards our family of four went up in the Port Isabel lighthouse. The very high staircase led us up to the very top where Chad and I nervously look out.




Sunday was the day we headed home and said our goodbyes after lunch. Before leaving Padre, we adopted two hermit crabs that the girls picked out. Cari named her crab Queen Girl and Cami named her's Princess Crab.



The whole weekend was such a blessing thanks to Papa and Nana who eagerly want to keep the family close.
