My brother caught the shark in the pic above right smack in front of our house where we’d been swimming ALL week long. We think it was a black tip shark. We did see his big Daddy at the aquarium later on and he was pretty scary looking! He caught it in 2 ft of water and it was cool to look at and we all touched it. Never touched a shark before. His skin was super smooth. We took some pics then let him back home free. Kirk and my dad saw another shark that morning (bigger and swimming toward them) so they decided to call it a day. Good idea.
This same day we saw the sharks a lady actually commited suicide right down from our house. It was really strange and sad. I think maybe she had taken pills then passed out/drowned in the water. It was eery and strange that they’d seen the sharks the same morning. I also ended up getting sick (surprise) and got some sort of horrible throat infection. I had a sore throat the entire 1st weekend we were there. After looking in the back of my throat and saw this huge growth I caved and found an e-clinic that I spent an entire afternoon at plus waiting for drugs. It was no fun. I rested and felt better in a few days.
We went to the Galveston aquarium again this year. The kids had such a great time and we even got to watch them feed the penguins. It was super neat and the penguins were my favorite, I think. They just were little performers and kept swimming right up to us and waving with their wings. I swear they were showing off!!
We also had lots of fun time out in the sand. Early in the week Gracie HATED the waves- on our last day (I think) she loved it again. Why does that always happen???
I love the pic above of her. So peaceful watching the waves coming in. A hat and water shoes were a must by all! Zero jelly fish and no one got pinched by any crabs!!

The Littles LOVED being pulled by the boat. Gracie wanted to keep going out far. I just liked to watch (I do not like to go out far!!)
Back of the house
Feeding the birds…
This happened by accident. Gracie had a cracker she didn’t want so I just threw it up and it only took 1 bird to see it and then they were swarming us. We had bread with us and they were in heaven!
The kids just had a blast playing. There were some moments with foul moods and tears and crying every once in awhile but for the most part they were so good and just enjoyed the beach!
