As soon as they flew in we headed to the house to load up the car to leave for the beach! Daniel was on a business trip and wouldn't get back til 4 so we decided we couldn't wait. We made it to the island by 1 and hit the pool before our room was even ready. We decided to get a condo so we could have extra room. It was great and really nice. The pool area and boardwalk were updated and great. It was a fun day!
We also hit up the Turtle Rescue and ate lunch on the island before stopping at the lighthouse in Port Isabel before we made it home. 
Once we were home we swam, ate and played games. The kids played well together and we didn't hear too much from them. Saturday afternoon we started to get ready for our evening out. We had 2 babysitters coming to watch all 6 kids while the adults went to the cotton ball, Algodon. It is a fancy wedding like party for the RGV. The Nash's invited us to attend with them and we took the Mayfields. It is such a small world because Kendra and Dan know Courtney's sister who was there and they also had connections at Texas as well. So fun to figure all that out. After the coronation of the cotton queen and court they opened up the buffet and bars. We had a great time dancing and talking with everyone. It was a really fun group. We made it home after the babysitter picked us up around 1:30AM. It was a great night and the babysitters survived!! 
The next morning was Father's Day and we mustered up some energy and headed to the country club pool. We swam, drank and ate lunch there to tire the kids out. Sam showed up and hung out with us. We played games and stayed up way too late talking. It was such a fun visit and we hope to make it an annual trip! 
It was exhausting but worth it!
