Corpus Beach Baby

Monday we drove down to South Padre Island to frolic on the beach. Here are Joe and Colin getting ready to head out.
His primary mission was to chop down every castle I started to build.
He did finally start helping me patting them down. I have a video of this somewhere, shoving my hand out of the way so he can do it. I'll have to track that down...The three boys out in the surf.
Chasing the poor gulls. Probably his favorite part of the beach.
That or digging in the sand with a rock.
He was unimpressed when the waves would wash back out and move the sand out f
After going to the beach, we checked into our hotel and went to the pool for some more swimming! Colin refused to take a nap and ended up just swimming again.

Here he is sleepily checking Papa's pocket for snacks.We went to Joe's Crab Shack for dinner. Colin loved his so much he was trying to finish it up by tipping his plate into his mouth! LOL! We were trying not to laugh too hard. Michael was scolding him and I was taking pictures! :) Maybe not the best parenting strategy, huh?!
Once we got back to the hotel, Colin crashed! We gave him his bottle and he just collapsed onto the floor and could barely keep his eyes open to drink it.
Unfortunately, sharing a room with Colin is not conducive to a good night's sleep! He got up at midnight wanting to jabber. We played in the room and even took a field trip downstairs to the vending machines for a snack. He finally went back to sleep again after an hour, but got up again at 5 to climb into our bed. He slept with his head on my stomach for a while and then stuck his head under Michael's and started snoring really loudly! SOOOO funny!
