Weekend at the Beach

A weekend away is exactly what we needed to feel like summer had truly arrived. We spent 4 days on "The Island" (Padre) and Mustang Island soaking in the sun, eating yummy food, and enjoying lots of time playing.

Ethan was super excited to use his kickboard (or surfboard) at the beach

Happy Poppy's Day!

This huge sand castle was fascinating to Ethan because he enjoyed building his own on the beach. Of course, E's didn't include a mermaid and sealife.

Trying out the supplies before the final product

With the rule of "no fires" in place - we still had to have s'mores and used creative thinking and used the grill
