Labor Day Weekend

edit2

This weekend we took the girls to Grammy and Pa’s beachhouse in Galveston.

Shelby is really starting to like the beach now that she can get around and be a part of all the action! Saturday morning we took all the kids down to the beach for some fun!

June runs straight for the water as soon as we get there. I remember doing this when I was little. It was like I just couldn’t wait a second for my feet to make contact with the water and run in to my knees, jump, splash, repeat!!

Shelby was shoveling sand into her mouth until Grammy went bak to the house to get her passy!

Caroline was a a speed course towards the water, she would I don’t think her little hands feet stopped once the entire morning. We kept pulling her back again and again and straight back into the water she would go!

After lunch the kids pulled out the extra mattresses and ran and jumped to their hearts delight for a good two hours!!

I love the sound of three giggling toddlers and two laughing babies, it makes my heart smile!! Life is full of simple pleasures!

All the big kids layed down while Grammy traced them! They love being traced and decorating their outlines!

Seems like she should have grown out of eating random things by age two…guess not!!

Then the kids pulled out the fish that Jimmy caught and played with them! EEEEWWW

I love how Claire is in the background realizing how nasty her hands smell after holding the dead,frozen, slimy, fish.
