first beach trip of the season

the first beach trip of the season was a few weekends ago. my dad was in galveston for work, so we went to the beach during the day, and met up with him at night for dinner. it was sort of chilly that day - we couldn't keep the boys out of the water but they'd come out eventually shaking with blue lips! the boys love the sand and waves, and we love surfing, so it's a perfect saturday activity for us. we didn't have the surfboard this day but we should have. the waves were great.

our ghetto shade contraption
it looks crazy but it works perfectly for our famaily
and fits in our small car






grant loves the water and we were wondering
how chase would like it - looks like we have two fish






we had to be careful because chase would walk out all the way
without stopping, until he was floating
we haven't found a floaty that works for him yet
crazy kid - he needs more fear


grant loves to boogie board. he seriously spends
the entire day in the water - we hardly see him!



after chase gets knocked around in the waves a few times,
he loves to wander around and talk to all the people







playing in the sand is always fun



and jason built a sand packnplay because we forgot ours






here's what you have to be careful of if
you turn your back for even a second....


we had such a fun time. let's hear it for a summer of beach going!!
