In Love....

Here are some random "scenery" pics that I loved and wanted to share!
The Cobbs (minus a cranky Casey that stayed home with Grandma) at Little Shell Beach on the HUGE sand dunes!
Sunrise from our room
How peaceful huh? This is where I wanna grow old!!
Loved looking out at the ocean from our balcony - SO pretty!
Little Shell Beach and Daniel's Footprints in the sand...

Can't wait to go back next year - we will miss you SPI!!
Thanks for the memories!!

Can't believe our vacation is halfway over! We have been having SUCH a good time and am not sure we want to return to normal life yet!!
Uncle Daniel and Kale taking a swim...
Grandma with the little ones - you can see Daniel, Christopher and I relaxing in the hot tub if you look really close in the background!
Crab hunting at night...

Getting ready to head out to dinner and happy hour tonight and we wanted to snap some pics before leaving so we went out to our balcony and got some great pics with the beautiful gulf in the background!
Daniel and I...
Christopher and Alisia
Then we got individual shots - I just want to point out why I'm the NORMAL child
My picture...
And his....
Funny - Yes! Strange - ABSOLUTELY!!!!
Sea Turtles...
After a couple of days in the sun we decided that today we would just take a break from the beach and headed to the sea turtle preserve. Kale LOVES turtles so he was really excited and so were the rest of us.
The preserve on SPI helps any and all turtles so they had some that were ill with turtle herpes (don't ask), some that had been attacked by sharks and required special prosthetic "limbs" to help them swim and even TINY little baby turtles (if they wouldn't grow to be 400lb monster turtles I would have smuggled one out!).
It was really a cool place to visit...
Look how happy Casey was - running theme??
My baby is like her mommy - not much for the camera!
And I would love to know why Sydney looks like she is in some serious pain...

Best Friends...

As it turned out some of our friends, the Rico's, were in SPI during this week also. Their daughter, Jesslene, and Casey are BFF's and always LOVE to play together. Of course we had to capture a photo of them together for the future yearbook...

Having lived in Texas more in my life then anywhere else (1994-1997 and 2002-now) it still amazes me that we have NEVER taken advantage of the Texas coast before. We now know we will be yearly vacationers in South Padre Island!
This morning we loaded up both Vehicles and hit the road for a nice 5 hour drive to SPI!
Here is us driving behind Daniel's truck along the causeway to South Padre...

Park City...
Thursday, March 18, 2010
If I could pick any place to have a vacation home the place at the very top of my list is Park City! It really is a wonderful place to go visit and we make sure to hit it up every time we visit Utah.
The weather for our visit today was perfect - just right temps and there was still snow on the ground for the kids to see. We walked up and down Main Street and then headed over to the outlets and did some shopping.
Sydney and Mom playing in the snow and a look down a crowded Main Street...
Another view of Main St. and a sign from one of the venue's that hosted the 2002 Winter games.
Christopher's downhill pose and my FAVORITE barn surrounded by snow!
This is a picture from the car on our way home from Park City - guess we left at just before the blizzard hit!
