One of the best parts of our summer was our family trip to the beach. The four of us went to Galveston Island for a few days, July 10-13. It was a wonderful time for us to enjoy spending time together. We had no agenda or plans, just go to the beach and the swimming pool when we felt like it. Joshua had looked forward to this trip for a month and a half and I really hoped it lived up to his very high expectations. I was nervous to take a three year old and almost 5 month old but they both were excellent.
We had lots of walks down to the beach where were played in the waves and built sand castles. One parent played on the beach with Joshua and the other got to lay out while watching Bethany on the shore. She had a little tent and would take naps or play, perfectly content. She makes it very easy for us to do fun things for her big brother.
We also spent time at the pool at our condo. Actually, Daddy and Joshua spent the most time there because they would go down to it while Bethany napped. It was a family pool that had a wade in area, a mushroom fountain and a crocodile to ride. Joshua loved it, especially the mushroom.
We made two trips to The Spot, a favorite restaurant from when we would go to Beach Camp with the youth group. It is a fun little place on the beach with excellent food. We also had a Sonic right by our hotel. Joshua loves their orange slushes and orange sodas so a Sonic at the beach was pretty amazing in his book.
We couldn't have asked for a better time and have wonderful memories of our time together. Here are some of the pictures from our trip.

This is how we went down to the beach every day. We could hardly go 10 feet without someone commenting about how cute they were.
