First Trip to Galveston

This past weekend Dad, Michelle, Miles, Patrick and Andrew all came down for a visit. We had a wonderful time. Mason and Ian loved having so many boys here to play. On Saturday we all loaded up and drove down to Galveston for the afternoon. It was the boys' first time to go to the beach, and my first time to go to Galveston since moving back to Texas. I wasn't sure how Mason and Ian would feel about the beach, but they both LOVED it. Ian loved it so that no matter what he was doing he didn't want to change. He'd start screaming when I would get him out of the sand to put him in the water, and then he'd scream when we got out of the water. He was just having too much fun. Mason was all over the place. He had a blast digging in the sand and splashing about.

Ian's initial reaction of being in the water

Trying to run in the sand. He would have a difficult time standing when the water came in.

Splashing about - yes, the lifejacket was probably a bit overkill but he had been in much deeper water.
