Beach Weekend

As you can see we took a trip to the beach.  I am a few weeks behind, as this trip was Memorial Day weekend, but oh well, better late than never.  We were invited down to Galveston with some sweet friends, and it was a wonderful weekend!  The boys have been begging to go to the beach for months, so this trip was something they were very exctied about!  We were there with two of their best friends, a boy from Isaac's class and his little sister who is Luke's age.  The 4 of them get along so well!  And Hannah was trying her best to keep up with the big kids.  Isaac loved playing in the sand, but was not too sure about the water.  The first day we went to the bay side, the water was so calm and not deep, so it was perfect.  Isaac did well at first, but after some hermit crab hunting he realized that he didn't really want to be surrounded by these crabs.  The ocean side, the next day, was a little too rough for him.  He was nervous about the waves, and even with daddy's attempts to calm him down and assure him that it was fine, he never quite got comfortable.  Luke was pretty happy in the bay once he warmed up to it.  After some time playing in the sand he eventually started to venture into the water and play.  The beach was fun for him, too, and although he got a little more comfortable in the water than Isaac did, he didn't totally love it.  Hannah had a blast in the bay!  She had no fear and even sat down and spalshed in the water some.  She was too cute out there.  She did not like the ocean water at all, it was too much for her, but she did enjoy walking around freely and playing in the sand.  The weekend was so fun, such a simple, yet perfect get away.  We are so thankful for these sweet friends and the great memories we made.
