Spring Breakers on South Padre Island

We went to South Padre Island this weekend - a group of spring breakers asked us for a good place to get seafood. They were walking, so we gave them a ride in the back of our truck.

They were very appreciative, and said people from Texas are the best!!!!

Kalanchoes always look good in a pot, or along a walk way, but I think they look best surrounding the trunk of a large tree like this.
