Vacation 09

We've finally made it for our vacation this summer - in Galveston for a couple of days. We took the kids to the beach for a couple of hours late this afternoon before dinner. They LOVED it! The last (and only) time they've been was five years ago, when the girls were 3, boys were 6 and 7 years old. Our greatest memories from that trip were that the girls wouldn't go near the water, we were worried about the boys getting swept away (weren't strong swimmers yet), and Logan was heckled by seagulls who wanted his Cheetos. Fast forward five years - the boys had a blast body surfing, and the girls were thrilled with the seashells and water. The only problem was when Meredith got a mouthful of sea water and complained about a sore throat and bad taste in her mouth for about an hour.
Everyone took a quick shower and we headed to Rainforest Cafe. Kids loved it. Very special day overall. Can't wait until tomorrow. I have my beach chair and a good book and plenty of snacks for the kids. I'll take my camera, too!
