1st Visitors of SB:
(some of)
the TX COUSINS
Sydney really likes her cousin Mitchell. Can you tell?
Just look at her look at him in both these shots!
She loves him.
We've made that discovery that the last few visits with the TX cousins.
2nd Visitors of SB:
(some of)
the KS COUSINS
*Just so you know, the KS cousins were here much longer than the TX cousins, AND Melissa takes a LOT more pics. You will see. These are all from her camera.
I must start out with these pics of Mike bc I think they are hilarious-
Mostly because he was sooo white before (got an awesome shot of that...).
Who am I kidding, we were ALL white before, and we ALL got burnt. He just got it the worst.
I got a text from Melissa today this is even funnier. It said: "Mike is sooooo disgusting! He snows dead skin everywhere. He leaves piles of skin everywhere. Sosososososososososos nasty."
Bahaha! It makes me laugh just typing it.
So sorry this happened to you Mike!
Next time we'll be better hosts and warn people to wear sunscreen even if it is March.
Thanks for being so cool to look at for a few days. You made the rest of us feel better about our burns. :)
IF only he'd have kept that shirt on..
Learning how to breastfeed, very important skill at age 2.
The kids needed to run around after their long car drive,
so we went to the park nearby just before dinner was ready.
First night in town,
roasting 'mallows at the beach,
accross the Ferry, where fires are allowed...
Gotta love cousin bath shots!
First full day in town/first and last time to the beach.
Sunburns. Enough said.
They look pretty hard core out there kayaking,
until you notice the kids on water blowup water toys 10ft from them.
Galveston has shallow shores that go way out.
Checkin' out a souvenir shop (Murdoch's) on the Seawall
while waiting for Scotty boy to go pick up the Pizza from Mario's!
Apparently we took forever to meet back up with him
and he was almost pizza-mugged by several people. ;)
He's so happy to finally see us :)
Our Pizza Picnic
with Pleasure Pier and ocean scenic views.
LOVED IT!
On Sunday afternoon Mel and I went out to one of my favorite places to go walking with Scott and we took pregnancy pics of baby Isaac and my growing 18 week tummy.
These pics will be special to me forever.
I will explain more on that in my next post.
There are lots more..I'll include a few others in a different post about baby Isaac.
Me and the photographer :)
Thanks, sis!!!
Sydney and cousin "Baby Lacy!"
The Morris fam. :)
We took them on the Hurricane Ike Carved Tree tour.
Such cool pieces of art! Apparently one of the directors of the Wizard of Oz was born in that house behind us, that's why one of the sculptors made the destroyed tree into the Tin Man and Todo.
There were lots more...
Galveston Yacht Club walk..
Dinner time!
Yep, 9 of us lived in our little apartment for several nights.
It didn't feel as crammed as I expected!
Worked out quite nice actually.
One last Ferry ride to see the dolphins, which they didn't get to see :(
Moody Gardens Aquarium
Evening swim where our friends live. Best view ever!
So nice. And we all died TRYING to get in the hot tub. The ONLY one of us adults who succeeded was Mel. I guess her burn was not as bad as the rest of us? I can't think of any other way, it hurt SOOOO BAD!!
....And a random last picture to finish things off.
Mel caught this bird (more like BEAST!) conducting to the other birds.
It was such a fun-filled week and we enjoyed having our family here very much!
Thanks to the Neals and Morrises for coming to visit!!!
WE LOVE YOU ALL!!
PS: For a million additional pictures, visit Mel's FB page. I'm sure she'll be posting sometime soon... :)
