Hey! I've been really busy w/ homeschool & BAD weather these days!! The weather thing is REALLY getting to me, the recent storms were quite scary. Many tornado warnings, lots of sirens, constant monitoring on the news. :(

Anyway, we found a dry moment to go on a field trip (I homeschool my son & a couple of his cousins are homeschooled as well). We went to what *use* to be Aquarena Springs, the kids loved the glass bottom boats & walking the boardwalk on the wetlands. We took a lot of pictures and saw lots of turtles. So now everyone wants a turtle!

A couple of weeks ago, we went to Padre Island & got sunburned like crazy. We took my mom, she's 79 years old and hasn't been to the beach since 1976!! She had fun & enjoyed watching the kids playing in the waves. We did the usual collecting shells, getting covered w/ sand, feeding the seagulls & came home completely exhausted...after spending a ton of time in souvenir shops, of course. :)

I uploaded some pics from our trip to the river, I'll probably add some from the beach as well. Since I haven't been on here for a while, I'm gonna do a little catching up w/ friends.

See ya!
