The Grandkids Found Us Again.

Our grandkids came to visit for a couple of days and brought their parents along. They had a whirl wind two day tour of South Texas. Our first stop was the Gladys Porter Zoo in Brownsville. We felt like we had the zoo to ourselves, since it was a Thursday morning.

After the zoo, we drove to South Padre Island for fun on the beach. It was a beautiful warm day, but the water and wind were a bit nippy. The kids didn't mind, they loved jumping in the surf and digging in the sand.

While Shawn and Kelly and the two girls went across the border to Mexico, we hiked with the boys around the Santa Ana Refuge. They loved the Hawk Tower and Canopy Bridge.

We had just enough time to take a tram ride around the Refuge. This made for a full day. When the family returned from Mexico safely, Jacob and Logan were ready for another hike back to show their sisters the Hawk Tower.
