On our trip to Sea World (San Antonio), Jacob had a little fun with the geysers.

Vacation...all I ever wanted...vacation...had to get away...

We spent the first week of July at South Padre Island for our children's first trip to the beach. Amber loves playing in the sand and collecting seashells, Jason loved to ride the waves on his boogie board, and Jacob loved carrying water around in buckets.

We also got to ride in a boat to see dolphins in the wild. For Jacob, we billed it as a ride in the "water tractor" because he loves his grandpa's tractor so much and we were afraid he might be scared to ride on a big boat...but he loved it and wanted to go again as soon as we got off.
