South Padre Island, Willetts, and Zapata

This is how the children have been sleeping, with Jubilee in the pack-n-play.
Here we are at South Padre Island. Just a little wading...
...a little playing in the sand...

...building a moat, and...

...OOPS! a little swim...

I was blessed to have the privilege of seeing it all happen and getting a couple quick shots in.
Jared thought it was as funny as I did. Thankfully I knew they would end up wet and had dry clothes waiting in the van!

Jolene didn't fall, she was sitting and loving it all.



Jubilee took awhile to warm up to the sand and the Gulf. She didn't like being dirty, but when Chad got some bowls and buckets out of the van to play with she warmed up pretty quickly. She never did like the Gulf but was quite pleased with the mini-lake Jesse dug.
The whole crew!
We had lunch in Alamo, Texas with Roy and Donna Willett our neighbors from when we lived in Woodhull. Funny how we come all the way to Texas to see someone who lives an hour to an hour and a half away at home. We enjoyed a good lunch and visiting. They sent us away with a lemon from a neighbors tree. LL envisioned having it in her water, but it's about 8 times as big as a normal lemon. We will have to wait till we have a refrigerator to store the unused portion.


We arrived almost late for church last night, Sony and Dorothy Schultz (Gary's parents) from Oakville, Iowa invited us to stay in their camper since we did not yet have a hotel room. They have a small house they live in so we had the camper to ourselves, it worked out very well.

This is the group we ate breakfast with, they spend their winters in Zapata, a few live here full time.
Dorothy is beside Jubilee and Sony beside her.


Jubilee gets woken up every morning and short naps on the go, it will be nice to get back on routine when we get home. This was at breakfast this morning.

Well, we've never done a TH breakfast in Zapata, but I trust it was a blessing. What nice people!
