A Trip to the BEACH!

After several years of praying EVERY night to be able to go to the beach, Maggie's prayers were finally answered. Glenn had a day off and the planets were finally aligned and we took off for Galveston! We rode the ferry from the mainland to Galveston island and then back before we played on the beach. It was VERY VERY windy on the ferry and the waves were crashing against the ferry splashing us so we didn't spend much of the ride outside of the car. Notice that we no longer have our cool "Little Red Bug" anymore, we now have the official ride of the "soccer Mom". At least I don't get stuck in the back trying to get a sleeping Zoe out of her car seat. That happened a couple of times with the bug. A two door car is not at all practical with a baby!

Glenn and Maggie got a jump on some sand castles while I hung out in the van with Zoe during her nap. Glenn had made a nice little castle that Maggie quickly turned into a volcano. Complete with a "sheshell" on top.

You might be a little confused by this picture...NO, Glenn is not a farmer! He has not gotten much sun since he started working in an office.
The water was a little bit cold so Maggie didn't spend much time getting wet.

Zoe was very afraid of the water so she spent her day at the beach on my lap. I sat her on the towel for a couple of minutes to get Maggie dry and she just sat there wrapped up tight in her towel. She had no desire to do anything on the beach.

Too close to the water for Zoe's comfort!

Who likes Oreo's more?...

Zoe does!
