Galveston Vacation

We decided at the last minute to go down to Galveston for a long weekend with the kids.  I rented a beach house for Thursday through Sunday on Crystal Beach for the five of us.  We had a great time overall.  Its never easy going on vacation with 3 little ones but it was fun to see them have fun at the beach for the first time.  After a long ride in the car, we got to our nice little house.  It sat about 4 rows off the beach.  We took the boys and Lola down to the beach Thursday night and got some great pictures of the boys getting in the water for the first time, enjoying their first wave and running up and down the beach.  They loved it.  There were some guys catching bait and the boys enjoyed watching that and got a peek into their bait bucket.
  We played on the beach for 3 days.  Jax even met a little friend one day and had some fun.  We were able to rig up an umbrella for some shade in the back of the truck and even Lola got to enjoy the beach.  We went into Galveston 2 nights and had dinner and drove around a bit.  Jax had some memorable moments too...
The first night in the water, Jax didn't even ask - he just pulled down his pants and peed right in the water.  I have never laughed so hard.  It was one of those moments I'll never forget.  Thank goodness no one was watching or around.
.....the second night that we went into Galveston for dinner we ate at a Mexican food restaurant.  Our first waiter was a little different and as he walked away Jax said "He's so weird"  The things your kids say!
.....That same night, another guys who was quite short and small brought us some chips and Jax out of no where said "Hey little man"  I kept my composure until he walked off.  Thank goodness he didn't speak a lick of English...geez.
We had a great weekend and were glad to get home.  I start back to work this week so it was one last hooray for the summer.  Enjoy our pictures!
