We sure started the summer off right this year - by ditching the last day of school and getting the heck out of town! We got up at 3am and drove all the way down to the rock bottom of Texas (I shouldn't say "we" because Scotty did ALL the driving). On the way there, we made a point to take a break in Temple and Killeen where Destini and Jenny were born and where their Grandma is buried. It was a lovely breezy day to take flowers to her grave and say a family prayer for her. I have an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for Marlene Beireis because she kept our precious girls alive and fed, even while she was alone and poor and sick with cancer. It feels like we are all one family now. The rest of the weekend was spent on South Padre Island in a pretty VRBO right on the beach. All the smiles in these pictures will speak for themselves!
