This story starts by backtracking briefly to Port Isabel. I neglected to mention in our last post that Lance and I ran cross a noisy group of Great Kiskadees there. We were riding our bikes around town and heard this raucous chatter.
Since Port Isabel is so close to the Mexican border and is rather [...]

The channel allows for boat passage but it cuts Padre Island into two pieces. The other half is the famous resort and [...]
We made a shocking discovery this past week: Bailey, our eldest, has secretly been moonlighting! How could this happen? We followed the best advice on how to raise a well adjusted family member. We set boundaries, we reinforced good behavior, discouraged bad, and most important, we always showed him love.
