World Bird Center - South Padre Island

This was my favorite spot of the trip.  Boardwalks built out over the Laguna Madre, tons of wildlife - so cool!

 The kids entertained themselves by stalking birds.  Pigeons first.

Texas Coast

We visited the University of TX Pan Am Coastal Studies Lab.

 Then, we hit the beach!  The kids had SO MUCH FUN!!

 Pants are overrated.
