A Day at the Beach

One thing that really got the kids excited about our move to Houston was our proximity to the beach. None of the kids had ever seen the ocean before so we knew we needed to make a trip in the first few weeks we lived here.



Saturday morning we told the kids about our plans and they couldn't wait to get going!



After a quick stop for donuts at Shipley's we set out for the beach. On the recommendation of a friend we chose Stewart's Beach on Galveston Island.



I love this picture! Keri and Addie were two peas in a pod-they both loved jumping into the waves and neither one took a break from the water the whole time we were there.



Brock was very unsure of the water and sand at first but he warmed up to it after about an hour. Then he kept signing 'more'!

Please insert a picture of Doak here. I know I took one but I guess in the bright sunlight I didn't press the button quite hard enough and didn't notice until we left! I'll get one next time! Doak also took a while to warm up but soon he was out in the waves with Addie and Keri!



The kids were exhausted after a fun morning at the beach. We stopped at Cracker Barrell on the way home for a late lunch and we all ate so much, especially Doak! It was a super fun family day and we can't wait to go back!
