Vacation Time!

Yep, it's that time! Time for a much needed beach vacation. We made arrangements to stay in our neighbor's beach house on Tiki Island in Galveston. It was an awesome beach house. Perfect for swimming, fishing, campfires, kids, and especially for parents!

Our first night, we went to each at our favorite restaurant in Galveston "The Spot".

After dinner, we came home to this...


Amazing sunset every night we were there. Doesn't get much more beautiful than this!

The next day, we packed up and went to the beach! This was Owen's first trip to the beach and he seemed to really love it! Luke was also in pure heaven. Brady...well, he's not really a water person, but he was happy to play in the sand!

Do you see that pretend surfboard? He saw some surfers surfing nearby and thought..."yep, it's as easy as it looks!"

This baby had a seafood buffet on sand and sea weed alone ;)

toes in the sand!

and what did we do the next day you ask? went back to the beach of course!

This time, we had some friends with us. The Vanderwoude's decided to join in on some beach fun!!

The water was really cold, so when the kids got out- they needed to snuggle under their beach towels.

Brady decided to cast a line.

Caleb & me in front of the gorgeous sunset just before some adult time with the Vanderwoudes and VanEps.

The fishing was really good that night! It seemed like every time they would put their line in they came back with a fish!

Then we made s'mores by the campfire.

The boys had never been on the Bolivar Ferry before, so we took them the last day we were there. They really enjoyed riding on such a big boat and watching the dolphins play in the waves.

American Flag flying high on the ferry! Proud to be an American!
