Galveston Beach 2011

I’m finally getting down and doing our beach post. We went this year to the same house we did last year. It was perfect. On the way down we got to stop at Abbie and Carter’s house in the Woodlands. We had never been there before it was beautiful! Gracie said “Does Abbie live in a forest?” It sure seemed like it We enjoyed chick fil a lunch and a break from the car. Thanks for letting us stop by!!

As we were heading down the tropical storm Don was moving in so we drove in a little rain. It was wonderful. We hadn’t seen rain in months so it was great to us. Not great was that Gracie and I had to stop and pee and we got drenched somewhere outside Galveston Because of ‘Don’ the waves were amazing! Kelly could not wait to get out and ride the waves. The weather was just perfect. Upper 80’s (maybe) and we didn’t even put on sunscreen it was so overcast!

Friday night my cousins all came so it was great to catch up with everyone! Gracie loved touching Paula’s belly! Next time we see her she’ll have had baby Mason

We were all just so excited to be in the house. It is an amazing house with wonderful views.
Before my cousins left after the 1st weekend we tried for some family pics. I had purchased a remote control for my camera but it didn’t work on my new camera and then it just worked crummy. I was mad!

Yes, we color coded and had everyone wear a solid color shirt. I think the colors turned out great! This was on the deck of the house. Our favorite spot.

I took a few cool pics of Paula. Here’s a sneak peek & my favorite …

Gracie and her Water Issue:

Gracie spent the first part of the week HATING the water. It was like 2 years ago all over again. Except this time it was the water, not the sand. She didn’t even like me getting in the water and screamed with fright. The first day we had gone out she jumped in the water (the day with the 6 ft high waves) and a wave got her and she got water in her mouth. I guess that was enough to keep her out. Later on she started getting in but we had some rough moments!!

See, she’s telling the water to ‘go away’.

The played in the sand for hours!!

Next up shopping, strep throat,  sharks, and a sad event at the beach…
