Beach Baby

The last week of May was great for the family. We traveled just about as far south as you can go in these United States and even went a tad bit into Mexico on a vacation to visit Liz's family in San Benito, TX. There was a lot going on in the week that we were there. Trips to Whataburger, homemade tamales, homemade enchiladas, breakfast tacos, etc etc etc.

Oh, and we did other things other than eat as well. We got to spend good times with Liz's mom and grandparents. We got to hear Buelito preach (en Espanol) which did nothing for me, but those who actually speak Spanish seemed to enjoy it. It was good to see the congregation there and their sincerity in worship. Definitely encouraging.

Liz and I got to spend my birthday seeing Shrek the Third and having a terrific hamburger at Capital City grill (it just keeps going back to the food!) There was a trip to South Padre Island without drudging through Spring Breakers and alcoholics, which was nice. And a trip to the zoo which I don't have pictures of just yet.

Thanks to God for the good trip and for the safety of it. Particularly since we did a total of four flights (Aiden's firsts) and he did wonderful. He never seemed scared in the least. Proving that he's getting his guts from his mother.

Aiden wasn't so sure he liked the water from the Gulf of Mexico.
