A Week at the Beach

The week of July 11th, we went to the beach for a week for a low key vacation.  We had fun time, spending time with my sister, Ginger, and her family, along with my mom, dad, and MaMa.  We cooked and ate tons of food - I gained 4 pounds in a week! 

Luckily, I dropped those 4 pounds the following week, but it just goes to prove how well we ate while we were all together.  The boys really enjoyed the beach!  Here are just a few of the pictures I took during our week-long stay.


Here is the view from our front porch/deck.  We were right on the water!  I had hoped for beachfront (more for convenience with little ones), but waterfront is the next best thing! 

Our cabin was very clean, neat, and tidy - which is a must!  We loved it!














Here is the kitchen - nice and open to everything, the way we like it!

Timothy and Benjamin hit the beach!

Benjamin loves the waves splashing him!

Timothy takes a more laid back approach!

Benjamin was so proud of himself!  He drew a "self portrait" in the sand and then stood next to it for a picture!

Timothy and  Benjamin get to ride on the back of Poppa's truck while Daddy and Poppa stand guard!  They loved this part of going to/from the beach!

Cousins....Maecy, Geory, & Gia pose with Benjamin and Timothy before heading down to the beach!

At the beach, Nonna & Poppa pose with (from left):  Timothy, Geory, Nonna, Benjamin, Maecy, Gia, & Poppa. 

My niece, Maecy, poses with her mom, Ginger.  I so enjoyed spending quality time with my sister for a few days!

 Poppa & Nonna still have "it" after 45 years of marriage! 

Timothy LOVES helping Uncle Sanjit build sand castles! 

Here, Timothy gets more water for Uncle Sanjit!

Timothy poses with "his" master piece (Uncle Sanjit's master piece)!

We went to Galveston and rode the ferry across to Bolivar/Crystal Beach one day to see it post Ike.  Here, the kids pose on the ferry - Timothy, Maecy, Gia, Benjamin, & Geory.

Here, Harry and I pose with the boys on the ferry.

Back at the cabin, Timothy poses with his building blocks!  (He is really good at balancing them!)

Poppa shows Benjamin how to fish! 

We had a really fun time, as always.  Until next time........
