Cort keeps coming up with ideas of things to do and places to go. Last weekend, in the middle of record heat, he decided we should take the kids to the beach at Galveston. I thought he was crazy, but I kept my mouth shut. And I'm glad I did, because we had such a great time!
It's less than an hour to Galveston, and we should take advantage of it more often. It's not the best beach in the world, but it was still a lot of fun. We'll definitely be going again!
Part of our strategy was to acclimate Helen to the sand, which she hated last year
She warmed up pretty quickly with the "let's bury our toes in the sand" trick
By the end of the morning, she had clearly gotten over her fear
Will was, well, just Will - cute and sweet as ever
He's supposed to wear sunglasses due to the drops we put in his eyes for strabismus
He just thinks he wears them because he's cool
Doesn't Joseph look old here? He's like a regular kid
All the boys built a big lake on the beach
Charlie gathering water for the lake
But Will was the official water gatherer
And hauler
Surprise, surprise - Charlie played a little beach baseball
Will LOVED the ocean
He walked right in, and didn't want to hold Daddy's hand
And kept walking - no fear!
