happy times abounded in texas. the three girls were there from august 1st through the 18th.
the cousins on a trek on the family ranch property. isabel is in true adventure walk attire: pantie cover, thigh length socks, and flip-flops. we were often graced by visits from the deer in the early hours of the day. the sweetest was the occasion when we watched a doe suckling her two fawns. and then the whole family lovingly licked one another clean in unison.
padre island national seashore. amalea and a sand dollar.
isabel holding a hermit crab.
sand-angel.
posing on the sand dunes.
picnicking with the peacocks at mayfield park. see the peachicks with their mother just beyond isabel?
the 750,000 bats under congress bridge. their emergence at dusk was utterly amazing. the squeaking. the smell of guano.
peter pan mini-golf.
barton springs pool.
amalea made an algae alligator. she did not mind the slime. isabel was completely disgusted by the "fuzzies" and "hairballs".
sitting atop carved wood stools after a day at the pool. after this we got to see a barton springs salamander.
inner space cavern. isabel (not-pictured) decided to throw herself into cave mud during a decidedly cave-induced tantrum.
look at how adoringly babcia and dziadek gaze at their great-granddaughters.
