Our Summer Break

Aliska and Trey enjoyed playing in the sand. We even took sand castle building lessons. Who would have thought there was so much to building an awesome sandcastle!





Ronnie & Aliska are
flying a kite in South Padre.
Andrew and Lauren were little
monkeys on the playground equipment.








Ronnie & April together on South Padre Beach at Sunset...how romantic! (Except the kids were running around...ha!ha!)

















PawPaw took all the grandkids out on the airboat this summer, except Andrew wasn't quite yet ready. Maybe he will ride next summer. Trey got a HUGE suprise when PawPaw hit a bigger piece of land than he thought. Trey thought he was about to go swimming.














The summer has passed quickly. The kids have been gone more than they've been home. We started the summer with the annual Schmidt fishing trip followed by a trip to South Padre all in the same week. Whew! We were exhausted. Other trips were to Mike & Laurel's for the 4th of July, camping at Jellystone Park in Waller, playing in San Marcos on the river with all mom's kids/grandkids and the Barta's. The kids also took various trips to visit with aunts, uncles and grandparents. I don't even think they missed us. They will be starting school tomorrow and the excitement is rising.
