Auntie "Kah-ki's" visit to Corpus Christi



Getting ready to pick her up from the airport


I love her... she's the best little sister! Oh wait, she's my only sister. Ha, ha, ha...


Shane trying to be a "funny man"! LOL


We got matching tattoos while she was out here. The foot on the left belongs to my sister, the one on the right is mine. :)


Padre Island!


This is the outside of a gift shop. We've never stopped to take pictures before or even go in it. But Im glad we finally did. We got some cool pictures and that gift shop was amazing!! One of the best ones around here.

My sister posing in front of another gift shop. You actually have to walk through the sharks mouth to get to the door. LOL





She's so beautiful!


The beach!... on Padre Island. This was more in the Port Aransas area. Aren't these birds weird looking?


LOL... it's funny the conversations you'll have while at the beach. My sister asked me... "have you ever looked out into the ocean and wondered what sea creatures are right there?" It's funny because I think of that every single time we go to the beach... like really, what is lurking right out there under those waves? I know one thing... Im not gonna find out!!


Isn't that pretty? I love looking at plants growing in the sand.


My sister thought these little houses were cool in a weird way. LOL


We found this awesome "lookout" area and while we were there... guess what we saw?!?! DOLPHINS!!


... and this little guy... or rather this HUGE guy. He just came walking right up to the car. I had my window down so I could take pictures of the dolphins and he just came and sat by me. Hee, hee...


... and stayed... (by the way this is a pelican, not a penguin... right Diane? LOL) When Joel and Diane were out here I was giving a "tour" and I called a pelican and penguin on accident... and well, the laughter continued the whole trip everytime we saw a pelican. :)


... another dolphin!


... and another one...


Did I mention, we saw A LOT of dolphins?!?! LOL


and this guy too! Just hangin out...


Getting on the ferry in Port A to ride it to Aransas Pass... to show my sister where we use to live.


Caught her in a smile. I had to make fun of her because she was freakin out about riding on the ferry. HA HA HA!


... Daniella on the other hand slept most of the time!


A huge cargo ship coming in our direction while on the ferry. My sister thought it was gonna "hit" us. Bwa, ha, ha, ha... your hilarious, Cassandra!



The last thing we did before my sister went home was visit the Selena Memorial. Cassandra is a huge "google-er" and found out Selena's Memorial was here in Corpus. Not that she is a fan or anything but its one of those "lets see it just so we can say we've seen it" type of things. And let me tell you... if you havent seen it yet and want too... your NOT missing anything! I can't tell you how many times I have actually driven past this and never even noticed it was there. That's how little it is. But none-the-less, we got a couple cute pictures out of it. :)

My sister and Selena... ha, ha, ha...


... and the girls with Selena.

Thank you Cassandra for coming out to visit us. We had such a fun time with you. We love you and miss you already. Less then a week and we will be in Arizona to hang out with you again. Hugs and Kisses!!
