Stewart Beach

While we are waiting for Kyle to find a summer job, we have been trying to make use of the family time we get. Last Monday we headed down to the beach on Galveston Island. This was the first time we had been to a beach and the kids were so excited. There are a lot of picture so I apologize in advance.

Our cute big girl...

And our handsome little guy...

Gabs was so excited to be at the beach, up until we walked into the water. It wasn't what she expected and I believe it scared her when the waves hit her legs and the sand came out from under her feet.

We never quite figured out how Noah felt about the waves. We couldn't tell if his laugh was from excitement or the weak laugh he gives right before he cries.

After wading out once, we came back to the sand and sat down. The waves slowly reached us and there wasn't much force so the kids started to get more adjusted.

Gabbie loved the waves after she first went in. She knew what to expect and kept saying, 'Here comes a big one, Yay'.

Playing in the sand with their sand buckets from the Easter bunny was a favorite too.

He decided that he liked the taste of sand and salt water. We couldn't keep it out of his mouth.

We had so much fun at the beach. However, we are not beach people. There was too much sand and too much dirtiness. We will probably drive down to Galveston once a year and just stick with the little kiddie pool in our backyard to cool off. Since that's all that we did at the beach anyway, it's not like we will be missing that much.
