Tooth Fairy and Schlitterbahn!

Grace lost her first tooth...........finally!!!! All of Grace's friends have been losing teeth since school started last year and Grace still hadn't so much as a loose one. Then, last week before we left for the beach she finally had a loose one! She worked and wiggled it enough that it fell out!

Is there anything better than sharing such an exciting milestone with one of your best friends?! The tooth fairy even found her way to the beach! I'm sure she'll find something great to spend her $$ on here in one of the souvinir shops.

Wednesday we took the kids to Schlitterbahn here on Padre Island. It's not anywhere the size of the one in New Braunfels, but it was AWESOME!!! We all had so much fun. In many ways I liked it better. The waiting in line for the rides was all done in the water...no long lines lugging your float up three flights of stairs! The kids played so hard. Mandy loved the "lazy wiver." We were there by at least 11 a.m if not earlier and left when it closed at 8 p.m. We had some seriously tired, waterlogged kids!

Thomas was so tired he didn't even notice when he rolled off his air mattress!

They were all dragging a little today. They went off and on to the beach and the pool, but most of the time they just wanted to do this...I'm sure by tomorrow they'll be ready to run themselved ragged again!

Enjoying our summer blessings,

Leslie
