Beach Trip July 15th-20th 2009

For the week my dad decided to take us to Galveston, Texas. That means the BEACH!! We were very excited about this trip. Boy did we have to pack the whole house. Seems like we did but we didn't want to forget anything.

Landen's very first picture at the beach..

Another..

Very first time to touch the sand. He was not really sure what to think..

Shades, hat and the whole bit.

Check him out!! Way to cool for school!! :)

And of course papa had to put his feet in the water.

This would be play time in the hotel before we go hang out at the beach..

He had the hook up for sure. He loved it..

How cool is this??

The sound of the waves put him to sleep as soon as we got there.

Mommy and Daddy had to pose for a picture too..

Sometimes you just have to change in the car. You have to do what you have to do..

His very first ferry ride. To the other part of the beach.

Not really sure whats going on..

Finally one with eyes opened.

Family picture chill in at the beach..

Just love these boys!!

And with mommy..

This is where we stayed the first few nights. Had a good view of the beach.

Just had to stop all the time to take pictures. You know me :)

This is down on The Strand. Behind us you see the water line from hurricane Ike. It was truly amazing to see this plus how much the town of Galveston is already put back together..

Another view of downtown.

This is taken from our hotel at Holiday Inn Sun Spree Resort.

The boys..

One night Kyle and I had a date night. We went on the duck tour.

Just love sunsets and it just so happened to be when the boat was in the water.

Driving into the water. This was very cool!! Different and very fun!!

This is the boat driving out of the water.

This is something that we will do again. I think it will be something Landen will like when he gets older. Thanks dad and Holly for watching Landen while we had a date night!!

Just chill in on the beach..

He loves to hold on to his frog!! Very sweet!!

Nap time. He can sleep anywhere!!

Foot prints in the sand.

Just look at those cute little feet!! I couldn't get him to make a footprint.

This is a view from the hotel. There was a storm coming in.

It got very windy as you can tell by the palm trees..

This is the hotels pool. We only went there once..

Just full of smiles!!

Another nap another day..

This is the Flagship Hotel. Still damaged from the Hurricane.

This is in front of the San Luis Hotel.

This was a car that was in the parking lot. Kyle was so funny.. He said I've only seen those in video games..

Very cool!!

Heading out of Galveston. Not really sure where this is but the bridge is amazing.. This trip was alot of fun.. Thanks dad for an amazing birthday gift!!
