First Day at the Beach

As ugly and unexciting Galveston beach is I now know why people go - because their kids enjoy it and aren't as picky as we are. And it's free. Sam got a last minute desire to go to Galveston, and Meghan had never stepped foot in the ocean - so why not now?
First several steps were hesitant but very excited very easily. Went into the waves with Daddy and kept saying "more more". Likes to stand in the shallow water and let the waves hit her. Sit in the water with Daddy and Mommy. Wave at the other little kids.
Beautiful backdrop :)

Nate's an old pro at this sand thing...
Aubrey was not a big fan of the water at first but warmed up... Of course, lathering in sunscreen can back anyone ticked. Or she was just picking up on her daddy's vibe of excitement.
Naptime
Meghan had never been around sand as far as I know (unless it's another secret skill from daycare), but she acted like an old pro. Although other people's sand piles are always more appealing.
Sam and Tray
Covered in sand... no problem. Eating with dirt? No problem. I'll just pick it up off the sand like it's a table and eat it.

This is to make all of you feel better about your bodies... Sam feel free to replace with another picture of me just to prove I was there...
Seems Daddy went swimming with the dolphins - everyone around him knew but him... just saw a lot of splashing.
Sam, Aubs, and the bump
The girls had fun - Meghan ran around high stepping it... this is similar to her high kick to get into a bathtub - think she might have gotten a little confused.


And no sunburns here! With this family that's amazing! And no, I didn't make my child's eye swell shut this time :)
PS: Amazing pictures right? ;) The first blog with the new camera - which I got in trouble for taking to the beach... probably not the brightest I know...
