Jonathan & I had been wanting to go to the Island since we got back from PA, but wasn't sure we were going to go yesterday. Then Jeremy called & said they were planning to go & we should all go together. (Their cousin, Rachel was here visiting from Mexico & they wanted to take her.) We decided not to take Korey because I wanted to be able to spend time playing with Kylie in the water, so I called my wonderful new babysitter, Maria & she graciously said she would come over! 
We were just 15 minutes out when we saw a tractor trailer turned over on the frontage road. There was not any EMS on site so Jonathan had to stop. The guy just had some broken bones it seemed & EMS came in just a few minutes so we were on our way again. Then we were on the bridge going to the Island when all the cars in front of us stopped. I yelled for Jonathan to stop & thankfully he did just in time. We were inches from hitting the car in front of us...but while were stopping we heard screeching tires (I thought it was US!) but it was the car behind us! Who then hit us from behind. It didn't hurt our truck at all, but they called the police & wouldn't you know we were just a little ways between the Port Isabel area & South Padre Island area so we had to wait for the DPS (State Trooper) officer to come. We spent about an hour or so there. We then got to the beach finally & everyone had a great time! We got to pull two cars out of the sand where they got stuck! Ate supper quick & then started back across the bridge...which took about 30 minutes because it was so crowded! Finally we made it home around 11:45 PM! There was also a restruant fire on the island too. We passed it on our way back home...what a night!
