South Padre Island 2017

Another vacation on South Padre Island with the Stewarts!!! PAAARTY BOOOOOOOAAT!!! This is our 5th time on the island with the Stewarts - but we upped the ante this time. Instead of our usual condo, we rented a SUPER NICE house. Yeah, I took a TON of pictures, so sit back, relax, grab a cold beverage and enjoy the pics!

DAY 1

We're off to South Padre! .....only 6 hours to go....

We're HERE!! ...we beat Jay and Sherrie, so we texted them this pic.

The pool

The outdoor kitchen area (big grill just outside the frame on the right)

The upstairs family area

The amazing 2nd story deck

...ahhhhh Yeah......

The wind was so strong our first day - you can see how brown and churned up the water looks

So we spent a good part of the first day drinkin' around the pool.

DAY 2

It was still too windy to set up the 'easy up' on the beach...so what better time to teach the kids Blackjack?

Ummmm, is that safe?

Let's go to Wanna Wanna!!!!!

WE WANNA WANNA WANNA~!~!~!~!~!

Later that evening, it was time for the PARTY BOAT!!!!!

Everyone is very excited - especially Austin

WOOO HOOOO JACQUI~!~!~!

Oh, yeah - check out that party crowd!!

It was a beautiful sunset on the party boat.

Perfect light for a picture - c'mon kids - look into the sun!

Claire and Lauren really do take a nice picture.

...and then there's us - getting photobombed.

Jacqui and I enjoying the sunset, and getting our drink on.

LOOK - A PIRATE SHIP!!
ARRRR AHOY MATEY!!

The pirates were probably coming after our women

...and that was it for day 2

day 3

Jacqui and I got up early to see the sunrise.
It really was beautiful.

Not as windy today, so we can set up the 'easy ups'.

Austin is some type of fish monster

We are camped out on the beach!!

Our 'easy ups' on the left, with our house in the center.

Jay looks comfortable.

DAY 4

Ahhhh, it's gonna be a nice sunny day.
And look how clear the water is today!

Someone is getting married on the beach over there

Sherrie says "It's time to go para-sailing"

OFF THEY GO!!
