Beach Day

My sister and nephews flew into town this past week for their vacation. It was so good to see them and to try and some places close by that we hadn't been too yet. First stop....Galveston. Now, I am used to Alabama and Florida beaches so Galveston was uh, not really a beach. But the girls loved playing in the rock hard sand and hunting sea shells. The boys enjoyed not being stung by jellyfish. It was a fun day though. We ate lunch at a restaurant with a pool?!?! So we ate our fish taco and then went swimming. So random but fun.

Excited to be in  a mini van and to have her cousins around...

 To be annoying amazing teenagers, they are so sweet with our girls. They play chase and throw them in the air and walk them to the ocean and catch them in the pool and watch Hercules about 12 times while visiting....the girls thoroughly enjoyed their visit!

He, uh,  loves the beach. We actually feel the same about the beach but I think we may have to suck it up because our girls seem to LOVE IT.

Seashell hunting all day long.

A weird thing about this beach, you just drive up and park your car on the beach. It was a little like tailgating. It was nice not having to carry all of our 18 million bags on a long trek. But while we were there....the ice cream truck came.

Do you see the puddle of ice cream she is sitting in????

But it was a fun day and now we know of a great little day trip spot if we need a change of scenery!! 

Penny Pup

It's a girl. 

We have a new girl in the family. Penny is our new puppy and she is the best little thing in the world. And best of all....our allergies haven't freaked out and killed us all. 

Hallelujah. Hollis was about to run away to a new family if we didn't find a pup soon. She was definitely worth the wait. 

Easter 2015

We had Easter parties and festivals and hunts out the wazoodle. I swear they got more candy at Easter time than they did for Halloween!!!

Easter Egg Hunt 2015

This year we went down to Discovery Green for the big egg hunt. It was a lot of fun and shockingly organized and well done. The girls got a ton of eggs and a ton of candy. Seriously, it was like Halloween.
