A very crowded beach
One of the few moments Austin was actually happy today.
The end result of going on vacation.
We left home yesterday for a "relaxing" week long vacation in Brownsville, Texas. Brownsville is at the southern tip of Texas right next to the Mexican border and about 20 miles away from the coast. Today didn't turn out to be the picture perfect vacation day though. Austin woke up last night with a fever that persisted throughout the day. He was very cranky all day. We decided to spend the day at the beach on South Padre Island. We didn't end up having that much fun. The sand on South Padre Island is very fine. It sticks to everything. We were there for less than an hour when Ashlyn got sand in her eyes and started throwing a big fit. Her eyes were red and the kids were both cranky so we decided to leave the beach. When we got in the car it wouldn't start. We sat there for an hour doing different things trying to get the car to start. It was a hot day today so the wait was especially miserable. Thankfully the kids both fell asleep in the car which was a huge relief. After an hour Santiago finally told me to call for a tow truck. The wait was going to be another hour. 30 minutes into our wait for the tow truck, Santiago finally got the car to start. That was sure an answer to prayers. Hopefully tomorrow ends up being a better day.

Sounds like a great time so far...I can imagine the tempers that heat was fostering.
Yikes! That's no fun. It almost seems inevitable that you need a VACATION after the vacations.
