to the beach...

the kids and i spent a couple days in galveston last week...an old friend from high school has a house there...right on the beach...the weather was perfect and the company was too :) tiffany and kate went too...our friend, lynn, has 2 kids...a little boy 6 months older than ellis and a girl 6 months younger that beckett. the 3 moms were outnumbered to say the least. luckily, the kids were all really good...we even took them all to dinner. we played on the beach...beckett ate sand, drank beer, and got totally GROSS in the dirt/clay. lynn told us that clay was put down where the dunes used to be to help them build back from ike...i think that is how the story went. i actually can't remember the exact science of it...but regardless, there was clay. and beckett went straight for it...pictures don't do it justice. believe me.

ready to rock and roll...pls look @ his farmer tan. the second pic is ellis w/ her new bud :)

the token baby w/ a beer picture...kate wanted in on the action too...

he was taking sea shells and SHOVELING the sand into his mouth. what is wrong w/ him?

he decided his venture into the clay was a mistake...

a big mistake...

he looked like a caveman...

rub a dub dub...5 babies in a tub

my monkeys...

day 2: here is ellis telling beckett...do not go into that clay again!

i didn't take my camera to the beach this day...seems a certain caveman likes to throw sand exactly where and when i don't want him to. thank you so much lynn!!! it was a blast...can't wait to go back!
