Galveston Getaway

After a week of Vacation Bible School, we were off to Galveston with the Anderson side of our family!  GiGi and PawPaw got a condo for all of us right next to the beach.  The first full day there, we set up camp with our tent and umbrellas.





 Uncle Phil and Aunt Haley brought a baby pool.

 Jumping Waves with PawPaw
Abby and Caroline love to get messy in the sand.

 They also love to help Carter walk.

The girls recruited Phil for a game of Princess Cupcakes.
 Naps for Everyone
 The place we stayed at had two really neat pools.  The one below had a little lazy river.



One of their favorite pool activities is diving for princesses.

The second day we were back to the beach!
 Thank goodness the condo had a wagon for us to use.

 Filling up the Pool-The first day we all made a million trips with little buckets to fill it up.  The next day,  Brent and PawPaw had a better idea.



 I think Caroline had the most fun walking back and forth to the ocean with her bucket.

We got serious with our sand castle the last day and finished it off with flags and our Little People.

 Time for a snack and a foot soak!

We definitely had the cutest little baby on the beach!

 Caroline started doing water ballet.
 Abby joined her.
 Aunt Haley buried Abby's feet.

 We left the Gulf a little cleaner.  Abby removed one piece of seaweed at a time.  BP can call her next time they have a spill.  It was a fun vacation!  Thanks GiGi and PawPaw!

Weekend with Zetas

Two weekends ago, Ruth came to visit.  She and Tommy stayed two nights.  We had Kristin and Tollie over for a cookout one night and Brent kept the girls so the Zeta girls could go out to dinner on the other night.
 We got in a picture taking mood and got some good shots.
 Ruth's kids were in Minnesota with their grandparents and Kristin's oldest had a big day and napped, but I got a few pics of Abby and Caroline playing with Grey.
 He killed spiders for them with the broom.

 
Abby and Daddy played a good game of catch with Tommy.
