South Padre Vacation

The Hamachers were nice enough to take us on vacation to South Padre Island, TX last week with the whole clan. It was Magnolia's first time leaving home, first time on a plane, first time seeing the ocean, and first time in a bikini (more on that later).

She did amazingly well on her first plane ride and she LOVED being outside and getting some fresh air finally (without being all bundled up and draped in blankets). We all had a blast. Brace yourself....there are a lot of pictures:

She really left her mark on Texas

All dressed in white

Loves being naked (the baby, that is)

Byron had this same look on his face out on the golf course when the pressure finally got to his competition

Out under the moon

Magnolia's Beach Fort

She had a whale of a good time in South Padre

"Hey, can I come play in your fort?"

Cutest......baby.......ever!

"It's hard work being this cute."

After a day of fresh air.....

Big blue eyes

Eyes wide shut

Here's her first shot in a bikini. If you think she doesn't fill that bikini out, you should see the bottoms!










After a bath....














"What'd you say Grandpa?"














Adorable













Looking in....

Not looking out....

The last hurrah for her favorite Gymboree outfit....she's outgrowing everything!

"Hey, you lookin' at my hat?"
