Galveston 2013

We had so much fun down at Galveston last summer that we decided to do it again!  This year we were lucky enough to have the Hackbart family join us.  We also got to spend a night with the Crowley family in Houston on our way to Galveston.  We had fabulous weather, company, food and drinks!  Lots of memories made again.  Only one bad one - I performed CPR for the first (and hopefully last) time during one of my morning runs.  Besides that, we couldn't have asked for a better trip.  Our girls had an absolute blast and all four girls slept 11-12 hours every night together in the bunk beds.  That was my only concern going in, and it worked out so well! I think this may be a new tradition!

Ryan stayed awake the whole drive and played with toys.
We didn't even have to turn on a movie!

Emma snoozed for 2 hours!

Chris finally got to try the Sonic pretzel dog on our way to Houston.
He gave it two thumbs up! So did Pea!

Ryan and Emma were in heaven playing

The girls swam in the morning before we headed
to Galveston.

Beach babes, ready to hit the beach!

Ryan spent a lot of time alone soaking in the beach.

Lots of sand "cakes" were made.

Even on Daddy!

Cute Katie!

Yummy chocolate covered marshmallows!

Emma rockin' my hat.

Me and my girls!

Ryan loved to lay in the sand.
She would sing, talk to herself and play with the sand.

I loved watching her.

This nudist stayed busy!
Cutest hiney on the beach!

Katie caught a nap on the beach.

I really enjoyed hanging out with Becca!

These two goof balls always have fun together.

We love the Hackbarts!
We hope they travel with us again!

We couldn't resist a little yoga in the sand.
Kicking up into handstands.

So fun!

Scissors pose!

Real men do yoga!

Pea spent a lot of time using her watering can to fill the little pool.

Hacbkarts at dinner at The Spot.

Pretty girls.

On our way out of The Spot Ryan and Emma spotted some cool
looking ice cream.  It was vanilla Blue Bell dyed rainbow.
The girls had to have some.

Emma's outfit remained white for about 4 bites.

My three loves.

I am so thankful for all these precious moments and memories.

It was a great vacation to end our summer!  Pre-school starts in 10 days!
