Life's a Beach!

This past weekend we had a great time on our third annual trip to Crystal Beach (near Galveston) with Grammy & Gran. We always rent a beach cabin and this year we had a really cute one! The weather was also really good. It was hot but the breeze made it feel great. We had dinner on the patio every night it was so nice!

Notice Kate showing you a few of the rooms- can you tell she was excited?!?

This was Ben & Kate's room!

All ready to hit the beach! (Kate struck a ballerina pose in several of the pictures I took this weekend- ha!)

This year Ben & Kate had even more fun on the beach. Kate was a very hard worker building many sandcastles and enlisting Grammy's help! She used the plentiful seaweed as a "garden" for her sandcastles.

Mark had a great time too! My kids are seriously lucky to have him as their Daddy.

Ben rode in this boat some but got a little traumatized when he fell out once. After that, he liked laying and sitting in the shallow water and having the waves hit him where he felt safe! He also had fun flying a kite with Gran and using a sifter to try to catch fish.

On the way home we rode the ferry from Crystal Beach to Galveston and participated in the rite of passage for preschoolers- feeding the sea gulls!

Thanks Grammy & Gran for another fun filled weekend at the beach! We're already looking forward to next year!
