Galveston Beach

We headed to Galveston from Lake Livingston. We figured if we were this close to the beach we could not pass up the trip. The big question on my mind was, "How will Wade like the beach?" Last year he did not enjoy the beach at all. He did not like sand or water....he and his daddy spent a lot of time in the air conditioned condo. Don't worry they were both happy. Well a year sure made a difference in his feelings about the beach!! He loved it!!

Before everybody got wet and dirty we took a few pictures.

The kids found something interesting crawling around. But daddy was the only one brave enough to pick it up.

We actually found three of these hermit crabs. I found one lots lots bigger, but I did not have my camera with me at the time. The kids wanted to bring him home with us. "NO WAY!!"

We went to the beach again the next evening. Everybody was so excited to get their feet wet again!!

This girl loves anything and everything summertime. Love that smile.

Rachel found a great way to ride the waves.

Wade loved the water at the beach and finding sea shells. One time he did get a mouth full of wave and he told Chris, "Yuck, the water is bad." The sand was still an issue with Wade. Every time he had sand on his hands or legs he would run back into the water to wash off. He spent a lot of time running back and forth to the water. He did like knocking over the sand castles though. We all enjoyed out time at the beach this year. It was so much fun!

I did snap a few pictures on my early morning walk on our last day.
