Beach Day

My dad finally got married on April 18th after almost eight years of being single. I'm so happy for him! So, this week he and Susan are on their honeymoon in Galveston until they go on a cruise on Sunday. Today they invited us to come to Galveston for lunch and a day at the beach. The girls had a really good time and were completely wore out after we left.

Aleisha finally warmed up to the water after about 20 minues and surprisingly went out pretty deep. I think she just needed to know if she could trust my dad, and she finally did. She said at dinner tonight, " I went out so deep, I got salt water in my mouth. It was nasty!"



Aubrey loved chasing all the seagulls at the beach. For some reason she has this fascination with birds. While we're driving in the car she starts yelling at me if she sees one. "Birdy....birdy!!" That is what kept her busy today being as the water scared the mess out of her. Her feet got buried in the sand, and the water came to her waste and that was it. No more water for Aubrey!! Here's a picture of her after the fact. She didn't want to have anything to do with my dad after that, because she knew, he would take her back to the water. It was pretty funny.





Right now in Aubrey's diaper bag we have a collection of shells, all different colors, shapes and sizes. Aleisha stayed busy the whole day looking for shells. I'm glad she is old enough now, to really enjoy searching for shells and playing in the water.










Doesn't she remind you of a peronna here? This is the new smile she does if you tell her to smile for the camera.




























Beautiful day! To bad Daddy had to work.
