Trip to the Beach

We took the kids to the beach for the first time this summer with several of our friends. 1 house + 18 adults + 19 children = CRAZY FUN & CHAOS! The house had nine bedrooms and was located in Surfside Beach about 30 minutes from Galveston. It was the perfect place to go since we pretty much had the beach all to ourselves. During the day, the kids would wear themselves out playing in the sand and ocean while the adults watched on. In the evenings, we'd put the kids to bed, play fun games like glowstick golf and swim ourselves. It was a blast, and I hope we get to do it again next year. We escaped with only a few "incidents" including one where James went swimming with our car keys and lost them in the Atlantic. That turned out to be an expensive mistake, but we learned a valuable lesson that day. Looking back, it will be a fun story that we can look on in the future and bug Daddy about for year to come ;-). WE didn't take too many pictures as our camera was on the fritz with the sand and all, but here goes.
