Well after waiting most of the day Monday we headed to the airport..they told us how Dallas was having weather issues and that we might get delayed. They asked us if we would prefer to just fly out the next day..but after looking at flights she said we would get into South Padre at least a full day later. So we decided to try. We almost made it. Our flight landed in Dallas just as our flight to leave took off. The picture above shows the boys sleeping in the airport. We spent the night in the airport and then got a flight to Corpus Cristi in the morning. Michael's mom was nice enough to drive the extra distance to pick us up.
The reunion was great! It was so nice to see, visit and be with all of our wonderful family. The boys loved being able to play with their cousins and enjoyed all of the fun activities. Alden especially loved the beach..Calvin liked the beach but wasn't as into the waves as Alden was. Benson did not like the beach. The sand and the salt water were hard on his eczema skin. Benson enjoyed lots of snuggle time instead.
Pie eating contest...I think most of us agreed that maybe a different contest would be best for next time. If your going to eat a pie you might as well get to enjoy it..right? Calvin was not pressured by the peer pressure and only ate one bite then watched everyone else trying to figure out what was going on.
One afternoon we went to this turtle rescue. I learned a lot about sea turtles and it was fun to see all of the different ones up so close. I didn't know how big they can be!
Calvin loved watching this one turtle, he sat watching it for quite some time and every time it swam by you could hear him say, "Wow". Calvin will often remind me to enjoy the simple things in life. He can sit and watch things for long periods of time, he loves to take very slow walks looking at everything around him, and often if he is eating something he really likes then you can hear him quietly saying, "Mmmm" with every bite!
This is everyone at the reunion above and our family down below.
This is us the day we left. Our flight didn't leave until the afternoon. Michael's parents took us around to a couple of places that afternoon and then took us to the airport. Our flights home worked out great! No sleeping over this time thankfully.
Alden the last night after I had explained that it was our last night there told me how he didn't want the next night to come. I asked, "why" he then said, "because I don't want to sleep in the airport again."
