We went down to visit with my Grandparents for the Christmas holiday and had a great time! They live down in Mission which is in The Valley just a few miles from the border. Since they are so close to Mexico we always head across the border for a day of shopping and a bite to eat at Arturo's our favorite restaurant. It was the first time we have brought Luke with us to Mexico and he had a great time. There is so much to look at. There are vendors lining the sidewalks selling all kinds of goodies. Since I didn't bring my camera I don't have any pictures to post of our time there...I will have to get them from my step-dad whose camera we used.
My Grand father always does a great job decorating his house with lights. This year his community held a contest for the best decorations and he won! I can't wait to see what he comes up with next year. I am sure he will win again, his are always the best!!
After Christmas we headed to South Padre Island for a couple of days. The weather was great! It was in the upper 70's with a light breeze and the sun kept going in and out of the clouds. While our oldest, Austin, is an old hand at the beach it was Luke's first time there. He ran right into the water and had a blast. Austin got a skim board this year and was a pro at in within a few tries. He LOVES the water, especially the beach.
It was hard to leave but good to be home again!
Here are a few pictures from our trip...Enjoy!
LOVE this of Austin!!
