Sand and Sun on Padre Island

Thomas' first trip to the beach was to Port Aransas, TX.

Grandpa Tom dug a hole for the babies to play in. The boys collected sea shells, built sand castles and found small crabs at night, which they set free the next morning. Kasey is a water baby and liked sitting by the shore where the water would roll in.

Trace and Ben helped dig the whole. Kasey was a beach pro. Here she is playing in her Texas Rangers ball cap. Notice Thomas is not in the water.

Thomas helping Aunt Amy build a sand castle. That is Trace in the background. He built a sand castle of the Krusty Krab with the sign made out of sea shells.

Thomas had fun in the sand and water for about...5 minutes.

Soon after this was taken he started eating the sand, rubbing it in his eyes and getting salt water in his face. Oh, and crying.

We discovered his favorite part of the beach was sitting under the awning in Kasey's chair eating pretzel sticks.


His new nickname is "Cabana Boy."

It seems the nickname "Surfer Dude" will have to wait till next summer.
