The kids had a blast! We had lots of swimming in the pool (which was J's favorite), playing on the beach (B's favorite), and eating good seafood (Michael and my favorites!)!!! We rented an apartment on the beach. It was awesome. We woke up, ate a quick bite, went down to the beach for a few hours. We splash in the waves and play in the sand. At lunch, the boys would go to the pool and I would go up and make lunch. I would join them, poolside, we would eat and jump back into the pool for a hour or so! Then we would go upstairs and NAP! It was Ben's nap time, but it was so nice, quiet and cold that we all ended up sleeping! It was nice! Then we would get up and go into the city for dinner and a drive or something! It was perfect! We did this for 3 days, wish it could have been more!
Sorry I haven't posted in while, after the trip, we only had a few weeks until school started! We were going, going, going every day to enjoy the last of our time together before KINDERGARTEN!!! I will do my best to get caught back up on all the super cute stories and pictures of the boys!
Oh and I miss-placed the camera I took on this trip, again, so I don't have all the photo's I took. These are all from my iPhone.

| The Sam Houston statue is in Huntsville, TX. We always pass it on our comings and goings, but never stopped before. Well, Jonathan needed a pit stop, so we decided to make it into a touristy thing! It is a really cool statue! (That is us at the bottom, by the way) |
 |
| The cool thing about this apartment, it has built in bunk beds! The boys loved having their own little space. (although, at night, Ben slept in his pack and play.) |
 |
| Bunk Beds!! |
 |
| I love this picture of Michael and Jonathan! They are such best buds! We are eating at our favorite, Shrimp'n'Stuff. |
 |
| Me and my little buddy! |
 |
| Daddy dug a hole and put water in it to start the process of building a sand castle...but Ben saw it as a perfect little spot for him! |
 |
| Silly guy! |
 |
| Michael's cool castle! |
 |
| The new Paradise Pier, where the Flagship Hotel used to be. |
 |
| Ben and me on the Ferry Boat! |
 |
| We took the Ferry Boat from Galveston to Bolivar Peninsula. This is another Ferry that we passed along the way. The boys thought is was all so cool! |
 |
| We found an awesome beach with literally NO ONE on it. We went shell searching. |
 |
| My favorite picture of the trip! |
 |
| I loved the way the sand looked. |
 |
| He loved walking in the water. |
 |
 |
| Back at the apartment ready to swim!!! |
 |
| ONLY ONES AT THE POOL, only for a little bit, but it was nice while it lasted! |
 |
| Jonathan pointed out these flowers and said they were beautiful. I told him that they were called Hibiscus. He looked at me strangely and said, "Hi-biscuits? That's weird." I couldn't stop laughing! So I made him go take a picture with them! |
 |
| Lovin' the beach! Michael is flying a kite while the boys are running to catch the shadow of the kite! |
 |
| Crashed hard at nap time! |
 |
| Poor guy, he had to be tired to take a nap! He is with his favorite pal, Lamb. |
 |
| For dinner that evening we went to the Fisherman's Wharf. This was my favorite evening. The weather was perfect, the boys were great, the food was amazing! |
 |
| Hollywood stole my sunglasses! |
 |
| The birds are pretty aggressive at these water front restaurants. While it is a bit annoying for you and I, the boys thought they were AWESOME! |
 |
| Me and My Love on the deck at the Fisherman's Wharf! |
 |
| Jonathan didn't believe that they were "real" fish. |
 |
| After dinner we walked the Strand in downtown. We took a horse drawn carriage (Those pictures are on the missing camera). Then we went to a sweet shop! The boys got a cone of chocolate ice cream and Michael and I shared a chocolate milkshake. |
 |
| Chocolates, Chocolates!!!!! But, sadly, the chocolates I bought melted on the way home and then they were too gross to eat, so I threw them away. :-( |
