We decided at the last minute to take an overnight trip down to Galveston during Memorial Day weekend. We thought it was either going to be really fun and memorable or really miserable with crowds of people everywhere. It was crowded but it was probably the most fun as a family we have ever had. It was just the four of us and we had the absolute best time. We didn't tell Colin where we were going until we were in the car driving out of the neighborhood. It was perfect! It was so relaxing and fun and chaotic and we definitely made some memories. We strangely came away renewed - I think a little time away with my guys is exactly what we all needed.
Colin finding out we were going to the beach! Davis looks super impressed.
Going into the Rainforest at Moody Gardens.
Some friendly animals we spotted on our walk thru the rainforest.
cheese. the hotel gave colin this backpack when we checked in and he did not take it off the entire time. guess we know how to make a little boy happy now. :)
in the aquarium at moody gardens, he was fascinated.
saying hi to his penguin friends.
oh big brother.
showing off his superhero moves in the shark cage.
after lunch and playtime at palm beach we headed to the hotel pool.
colin was having a blast...
little brother was worn out. he slept for almost 2 hours like this.
back at the hotel getting cleaned up for dinner.
oh my goodness, this boy is too much.
trying to get a picture of his super cute freckles.
colin must be taking after me...he wanted a picture of momma and daddy. he told luke to kiss me on the cheek...funny boy.
the next morning after breakfast we headed straight for the real beach. colin finally got to fly his kite and was in heaven.
as we suspected, little brother was a fan of the surf and sand too.
once the fun wore off and the cranky set in we went back to the hotel to clean up, check out and see one last exhibit...the dinosaurs!!!
is it just me or does my 4 year old look so grown up in these pictures?
and one last picture before we left. didn't you know tree frogs like to chew blankets???
