The giraffes posing for a family portrait



Momma and Daddy being silly on our last night in Padre.



Hard to tell, but this is Maia with Mima and Boppy the morning we all left South Padre. The picture looks like this because at 9am, it's already hot and muggy there. As soon as we walked outside, my camera lense fogged up. But she doesn't have many pictures with them so I wanted to include it. We sure do miss you Mima and Boppy! Glad we got to spend that time with you.

Gladys Porter Zoo

One of the days we were in Padre, we drove back to "the Mainland" and went to the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville. Shanny bought Maia a bird feeding stick so she could feed the birds, which she loved and was a bit intimated by at the same time. It was so hot, but we always love getting to go to the zoo. It's such a blessing to see up close, God's creativity in His creation of the animals.

South Padre Island

Discovery Green

In June we went on a family vacation to Houston and South Padre Island. A trip to Discovery Green Park in Houston marked Day 1 of our wonderful vacation. Maia and Lauren wasted no time in catching up and having fun at the water fountains.

Maia takes on Gym Buddies

Maia has gone to a few weeks of Gym Buddies camp and she LOVES it! Now she is doing somersaults and jumping all over the house.
