South Padre Island Vacation FUN! We've been in South Padre Island for 3 days now. It is so fun! We enjoyed Schlitterbaun (famous waterpark) I really thought that would be the kids favorite but they have enjoyed boogie boarding at the beach just as much! Wow, we so needed this!!! What an amazing bunch of kids. I just love love love being able to spend so much time with them as a family on vacation. Later this week we'll get to see the Alamo and do the Riverwalk in San Antonio. Looking forward to seeing that too, but the beach and relaxing tropical weather has been the best!
