We're Going to the Beach!

Well, since the girls have been out of school, we have to keep them busy. So, we decided to take them to good ol' Galveston. We stopped to have a delicious lunch at Hooter's first. It was my first lunch at Hooter's since before I was preggo with Mia--and it was delicious! Fried pickles, wings, and fires! Yummy! Even the girls enjoyed their hot dogs! we took a few pics while we were there since the girls were all being so good!
After lunch we went straight to the beach. Our 1st stop was Murdoch's Souvenir shop on the seawall. We had been promising the girls that we would take them there first. So we shopped a little and took a few pictures in the store.

Then we walked down to the beach. There was a lot of seaweed on the beach. Tons of it, but it made a great cushion to sit on! :0) The girls, all 3, of them headed right into the water. Even Mia, joined the older 2 this time. She didn't enjoy the water in Port Aranzas, but she loves her Galveston water! It was amazing to see these little mermaids in the water. They absolutely LOVE it. Thank goodness we live close to Galveston! And thank goodness the oil spill hasn't affected our brown water! It's naturally brown--no oil needed!
After about 2 hours in the heat, we finally made the girls get ready to leave! We've been trying to go see how the Bolivar beach is looking since Ike came through. SO we took the ferry across. The ferry ride was hot, but it was fun. We got to see a couple of dolphin families as we crossed to and from the other side. We really didn't drive much because Mia was getting extremely fussy, since it was her nap time. But it looks like, slowly, but surely, Bolivar Beach is trying to recover. So we'll just keep praying for all of Galveston beach and the Bolivar Peninsula to recover soon enough.

Here is my favorite picture of the day! Thanks James and Sylvia for joining us on our fun day at the beach! Yay! It's summer time!!!
