Beach FUN!!

We are so blessed to have a family beach house where we spent MANY weekends this summer!!! The Granite Guppy belongs to Chris' parents and is in Surfside!! This summer was a blast with the kids - Grace absolutely LOVES the beach and asks quite frequently as we are pulling out of the driveway if we are "going to the beach house" She loves going down there and seeing her cousins, Connor and Hannah!!!
Here are some pics from May and June at the beach house... This is our traditional family photo in front of the house and sign...
Grace loved going into Galveston one day and looking at all the shells at the souvenir shop...

Me and Grace at the beach.

She was so excited when she found this stick to play with - we haul all the "beach" toys down there and she likes the stick to play with...

Yes, that is a fish in her hands - one of the kiddos favorite games is for Chris to catch a bunch of fish in the cast net and then he puts them in a hole in the sand and they carry them one at a time back to the water and let them swim away in the ocean - hours of FUN!!!

The girls - they are so cute together - Grace loves Hannah and talks about her all the time - she loves playing with her at the beach and one of their favorite games is running around the beach house chasing each other.

This is a mexican food restaurant we ate at in Galveston...all Grace wanted to do of course was ride the horseys!!!

Oh my gosh! I go to surfside all the time my Mom and Dad ( really my best friend's mom and dad whom I"ve very close to) live down there. The name of their house is trying to reason with hurricane season. In fact I'm going there again this weekend. Where on the island do they live?
