Galveston and Kemah Boardwalk

Okay, here are the last pictures from the visit with my family last month.

While everyone was here, we decided to drive down to Galveston and go to the beach since we have never been down there before. It was a pretty nice day, but very windy. We all got into our shorts and t-shirts thinking it would be really nice to just walk around on the beach (I had no intention of getting in the water myself, but we all brought bathing suits in case it warmed up).

Here's the sign for the beach. That's about as close as we came. Instead, we took a ride on the ferry.

The ferry connects Galveston Island with Port Bolivar and is the only way cars can get from Galveston to Bolivar.

We decided to walk on board instead of driving so here we are waiting for one of the ferry's to get back to pick us up.

(as you can tell from the sweatshirt my sister Taylor has on and the way my brother James is hunched up, it was really cold with the wind blowing)

My cute niece Jossie...not so little anymore.

On the ferry...it was so windy and cold!!!

We passed some military boats and were able to talk a little with my dad about his experiences on a boat in the Navy.

We all tried it outside for a little bit...

except for these smart guys...

Noah with his Grandma Campbell...

Jossie had so much fun on the ferry. Actually, we all did. James and Dad even saw a couple of dolphins in the bay as we were coming in to disembark. We were all pretty jealous of that.

After the ferry, we headed over to Kemah Boardwalk.

Here are all the cousins together on the shark bench.

Gabbie saw some random guy take a picture of a friend kissing the shark so she decided she needed to do the same thing...

Our cute little family...

and our modeling cousin...

This is what happens when you leave a drink with Gabbie telling her to hold it for you (never expect to get it back in that situation Taylor).

Stinkers...

We ended the day with our traditional trip to Golden Corral. We go there once a year, whenever my dad comes to visit. We were waiting for the other guys to get there and Kyle decided to play a game with Gabbie by laying his seat back and smushing her legs. She thought it was hilarious and has asked him to do it again on numerous occasions.

Thank you so much for coming to visit us guys. We had a lot of fun and can't wait to see you again!
