The Hendricks Visit......and now for the rest of the story.

And here's to chronicling the rest of our awesome trip with Mark, Emily and Noah!
We spent a day at the beach and took a dolphin watch cruise. I've done this a few times now and its always pretty fun. This time took the longest to see the dolphins, but we did see some and it was great! The weather was perfect as well.

These two! 

Look at that beautiful weather! Perfect day!

A view of South Padre Island
A few of us got bored waiting for the dolphins to make their appearance. :)

Noah loved the boat!

I thought this looked like a scene out of Titanic. :)



The Hendricks family

Our whole group

Us girls and our babies!
That was a great shot!
And then, Mark got pooped on by some bird! Haha!

We rode next to this shrimping boat for quite sometime
and the dolphins were riding in the waves the entire time. It was great!

 And then we headed to the beach! Brett and I were talking about how we wish we went to the beach more often. Its interesting how often people don't take advantage of the great things in their own backyard. Or maybe that's just us?
Eating watermelon!


We got pedicures while Emily was here. Mine turned out pretty ugly! Haha!



Mark found this cool crab




Kayla loved playing in the sand and was loving eating it - gross! When we took her out to the water though, she cried quite a bit. Even when we were in the wet sand at the water's edge, she didn't like it.


"Pick me up now, Mom"
Sand faces!


Nothing quite like flying kites at the beach!
We love South Padre!

We played some Just Dance to work off all the delicious
 food we ate while they were here.

Kayla has really been loving music lately and shakes her little
 bum whenever she hears it. Its precious!




We got an ice cream maker for our wedding and used it quite a bit at first. We haven't used it since we moved to Texas so we decided to bust it out and try a new ice cream recipe. We made extreme dark chocolate custard. It was really good but REALLY rich and definitely dark chocolaty. It was interesting getting it to the right level of "frozen" but once it was done, we added frozen raspberries and it was AMAZING!


Mark was great with Kayla! She loved having more people to entertain her!




We had a great time with the Hendricks! Before we left the island, we ate a great seafood place there on the island. I love getting delicious shrimp! It was also friend to have friends here to play games with and watch movies with. We're grateful for such good friends!
