The Beach

This past weekend the whole fam headed out to Crystal Beach which is right down the road from Galveston. Ryan and Sarah Craig very graciously opened up their family's beach house to us and our bible study-- Brian and Laurel Williams, Jonathan and Sarah Clow, Andy and Kathryn Rouse. It was a great time. We stayed up late talking. We walked along the beach. We played catch phrase. We relaxed, read, and laid in the hammocks.

It was our first time to the Texas coast. It was pretty much like we expected, very similar to the Louisiana coast-- people driving on the beach, fishing from the shore, brown water, etc. There was a ton of seaweed this past weekend which was rough for me because I can't stand things touching me in the water. I freak out. Rocky had to coax me in.

Adelaide had a great time. She really likes new places and to be around people. She's gotten to where she loves other kids too so she was really excited Zaylin was there. There were lots of first for Adelaide this weekend-- first time in the Gulf, first time in a hammock, first time laying on the beach, etc. She did well with all the new things and didn't complain much at all. Below are some pictures from this weekend.

Brian thought he'd check out Adelaide's sunglasses:


Below are a couple of cool pics from the weekend. The first is from the game of washers the guys played on Saturday afternoon. The second is of the bridge that led from the house out to the beach:



And of course pics aren't enough, here's a few videos too:

Adelaide had a great time at the beach house with Zaylin and Sarah. Adelaide loves Zaylin so much. Here's Sarah playing with Adelaide:


As I was dressing Adelaide in her PJs the other night, she showed me how she could "buzz" with her lips. New sounds are so fun:
