i wonder if i'll look back and think wow, our photo album has WAY
too many pictures of the beach. haha!
we love going as a family and this trip was a unique one.
first of all, it was FREEZING. in the 40's and the wind was blowing.
the waves were supposed to be really big, but when we woke up,
they looked small on the Galveston beach cam, so we decided to go
just in case they were big and if they were small,
we'd just enjoy the day at the beach.
the waves did end up not being very big, so we just played. hunted for shells,
chased birds, had a fire, dared each other to go in the water, and overall
had a great time. it was sort of like we were camping. fun memories for sure.
i think it's funny the boys are on the beach in their winter gear!
we found some watermelons growing in the sand!
grant organized some races to warm up...
and chase learned he could "win" if he turned around and ran back before grant noticed!
it's sort of scary how fast grant is...how can my first grader already almost beat me???
chase attempting to escape...or rock climb.....or something.
(sorry for the terrible quality of pictures, i forgot my camera and only had my phone)
chase being his happy self....wearing his "crunchy pants" that he NEVER takes off...
grant being the only one brave enough to try the water! he didn't stay in too long...
and there may or may not have been some tears....
enjoying the fire! (and cookies too by the looks of chase's face)
cutting open the watermelon (that tasted like a cucumber...)
it really was a fun day!
