Beach Bums

It seems like every trip we take to Texas, there is some new grand adventure waiting for us.  This time we got to spend a few days at an actual beach house in Galveston!  It was awesome, to say the least!  And since we were staying at a beach house, of course, we had to spend some time at the beach!!!
Tori and Linken were all ready to go! It was so fun that we had access to golf carts to take us on our outings throughout our stay!

Now, this boy loves cars and basically anything with wheels.  Needless to say, he was in heaven anytime we were riding in the golf carts!!!

Mommy and Garrett checking out the sand- it was rather nice!  In the background you can see Aunt Michelle, Aunt Nikki, Grayson, and Uncle Douglas!

Tori had a blast playing in the sand!

What beach excursion would be complete without making a sand castle?

Garrett and Daddy at the beach!

And here's Daddy and Linken getting ready to run away from a big wave!

I absolutely adore this picture of me and Garrett- thanks to whomever captured it!!!

Tori was a bit scared of the waves.  After much coaxing, Uncle Douglas finally got her to come in with him and Linken to run away from the big waves.  It was so much fun watching them!

 Running from the waves!!!

These two got really good at getting away from those waves!

Garrett was also not a fan of the water- check out that pout!

So this was how we got him to also run away from the waves!!!

Did I mention that this kid loved the golf carts? Here's more proof!!!

On our second visit to the beach, Garrett discovered this awesome patch of sand!

Garrett and Grayson loved playing in it!

 Garrett connecting with the sand:

This picture shows just how happy Garrett was with this particular spot of sand- pure heaven!!!

The big kids decided they wanted to build a castle this time around!

Not too shabby, ehh!!!

Here we have Grayson, Tori, Garrett, Aunt Nikki, Uncle Douglas, and Daddy on beach day number 2!

Garrett and Tori- our adorable beach bums!!!

Visiting the beach is always fun, but these were also Tori and Garrett's first visits to a real beach- so exciting!!!
