Jaden discovers South Padre Island




















Jaden went to the beach for the first time ever this weekend and he had a blast. Talk about a kid with no fear. He walked in, and kept walking till a big wave knocked him off of his feet. It was awesome. What a blessing. You may be thinking "I can't believe you've never taken him to the beach". Well he has been to the water line but he's never gotten in the water because of his G-tube. The G-tube has been out for a while now so it's full speed ahead.
We had a divine appointment while we were there too. We met a family of 4 which included a teenager with down syndrome. It was so inspiring. He is 17 years old. He is getting his black belt in Tae Kwon Do, he's on the swim team, drama club, loves girls, wants to get married, have a family, speaks very well and is very athletic. We got a glimpse of the future for Jaden and it was great.
