We had so much fun at the beach the first time we went that we decided to go down again for Memorial Day! I thought the public beaches would be super crowded and we just bought a Texas State Park pass, so we drove down to the Galveston SP to check it out.
Unsurprisingly, it was also pretty crowded, but actually a really nice park to go to otherwise!
Since we knew they wouldn’t be renting umbrellas, we took the time to find the sun shade tent that I bought for one of our previous Texas trips. It worked pretty well for shade, but was a little difficult to set up - definitely a two man job!
I finally bought this girl a swimsuit since it was pretty clear she loved the beach last time. She didn’t exactly get in the water, but she did get her feet wet this time!
The boys were pretty excited with the additional beach toys we brought this time. Though you wouldn’t know it from Henry’s expression. Maybe he’s just squinting in the sun…
This girl was not still for more than a few seconds this time. She would grab her snacks and ruuuuuuuun! It was not the most relaxing beach trip for Momma…
I think the two of them were trying to dig a giant hole in the sand again, but weren’t making much progress this time… ;)
I was so excited about this girl and her snacking! She apparently got hungry and actually ate some Cheetos! And she drank when she was thirsty! I know that seems so normal and it is - just hasn’t been for us. It feels like such an improvement! :)
She just didn’t do so great about finishing her Cheetos without dropping them in the sand. So once they hit the deck, I threw them off to the side of the tent. And kinda forgot about them until we were packing up and the seagulls found them! They must have really good eyesight!
And it’s not like we can go to Galveston and not visit the ice cream shop! We may have ordered a bit too much ice cream, but we ate as much as we could…!
Before we went down to Galveston, we set up the tent in the yard to make sure we wanted to take it. I looked out the window later and saw this guy just chilling in the tent enjoying the fresh air. I think he’s happy to have a yard free of moose and bears that he can go hang out in. :)
