Beach Time 2011

Derek's family takes an annual trip to Galveston each summer & these are our photo highlights from this year.  We always have such a wonderful time, and my kiddos LOVE hanging out at the beach and at the awesome pool they have at Point West Condos.  It is always so relaxing just hanging out, eating & playing games.
This first picture is their first day at the beach...they were a little timid, taking it all in.
These pictures were from the last day we were at the beach, they sure are warmed up to it now!
On the left, we are catching 'critters' and then on the right Dawson is showing off all the ones he caught.
Here is a cute picture of Andi wave jumping with Gramps. She's very into it.
And a cute shot of Granna just relaxing in the water with the kiddos.
Granna & Gramps with the munchkins feeding the seagulls.
One day, we covered ourselves with mud.  I LOVE Andi's face in the first picture: she is totally covered in mud but is acting grossed out by the mud in Dawson's hands.
The boys always get in LOTS of naps while we are there.
The pirate hats were a BIG hit. ARGHHH!
 
 And, on the way home, we let the kiddos stop to get some new pets...HERMIT CRABS!!!  They ended up not being such great pets, because they did not live for very long.  But, the kids sure enjoyed them for a couple of months.  Dawson named his 'Astros' becuase the shell was painted like an astronaut, and Andi named hers 'Kicky' because it was painted like a soccer ball.  They were cute while they lasted!
