Japanese Gardens

We had a little side trip on our way to the beach last weekend and stopped off at the Japanese Gardens and let me tell you it was so pretty!  The boys wanted to see the koi fish but we ended up getting to see so much more like waterfalls and beautiful rock structures.  

Benjamin looking like such the big boy he is these days.

We also rose the train around the park which was a lot of fun as well because it had a lot of bridges and tunnels which the boys loved!  
 
 

 
 

Weekend Recap

We took one last family vacation and packed the car and headed to the beach before school starts.  This time we headed to Padre Island. 

When we checked into the hotel they gave the boys these cute sun glasses which they were excited about!

The boys loved swimming in the pools and drinking frozen drinks poolside...

Thomas loved everything about the beach!  And didn't even mind if his snacks fell in the sand,  he ate them anyway haha!

It was a perfectly relaxing and fun way to end the summer!
