One Last Summer Hoorah!

***This Blog Update is having some major problems (I am sure it's not my fault). I can't get the right text to go by the correct picture. So, it's kind of a fun puzzel for you, the reader, to figure out what comments should be by what pictures. You are so welcome.

Summer has come to and end, but we finished it off with a bang. First, we went to the beach during the week....


We love South Padre Island, with its calm waves and 85 degree blue/green water.



This lovely place is in Los Fresnos, a couple miles down the road from where we live. The kids are always begging to go inside Bobz World, and this particular day I was feeling quite nice after the beach. I didn't get enough pictures to really show of the beauty of the outside of Bobz World. There are huge sharks, fishes, dinos, and shells everywhere!


And now we know what the inside of Bobz World is all about. It's a cool place with all kinds of shell decor, a museum and lots of hermit crabs ("Mom, please can't we have some? We'll take really good care of them! Please, please, please!?!?!?" NO.)

Audra especially liked this little knight who was just her size.

Then it was off to San Antonio for a couple of days. Trevor and I took turns attending the Temple (which was the point of the trip). We took the girls to Sea World and had a great day! The Friday before Labor day is a great day to go...no lines!

These guys put on quite show. The girls entertained themselves for hours back at the hotel pool playing Killer Whales (Halyie and Katie) and Trainer (Audra). It was a hoot!

We were obviously sitting in the splash zone!

Good-bye summer. Bring on the fall - with its cooler weather!
