Vacation 2011
Surfside Beach
Isn't he a sweetie? Just a swingin' at the Jetty Park.
Seagulls and bread = feedin time
the kids (and Aaron) enjoyed throwing the bread up for the gulls to catch in midair.
Isn't she a pretty thang?
Our vacation challenge A Family photo -- Riley wasn't having for it at all.
Footprints in the Sand -- not that you can see them very well..it was starting to get dark when we took this picture... all the feet of our family..
Vacation 2011--Surfside Beach
Riley was quick to grab a boogie board when he realized his daddy was going out into the surf..so he ran in too as quick as he could..
Allison and Blaine had a good time with the boogie boards as well. Here she comes in for a drink after taking in quite a bit of salt water.
Riley and his sand bucket. We went through a few of them during our trip.
Sandcastle Time -- one of Abby's vacation requests was to build a castle..we built several little ones through out our vacation and saw several that were built by very talented sandcastle builders. She had a great time playing in the sand though...
Posing in the water...she is a camera hog...
Run Abby...he's gonna get you...
La Casa de Playa -- The Beach House
aka...our home away from home or as Abby said "our new home" -- don't we wish we had a beach home. We had such a great time.
A few photos from Blaine and my early morning walk on the beach looking for a beautiful pink sunrise. This is what we were able to get...
If you look very closely (haha) beside the red boat, you will see a dolphin -- this was one of Abby's other vacation requirements. We did actually see it you just can not see it in the photo. We rode on the Bolivar Ferry back and forth from Galveston late in the evening and were able to see it. She was satisified.
After the "dolphin family" sighting. She is a happy girl.
Bolivar Ferry ride
After dinner at Fish Tales on the Galveston Sea Wall
Voted by all -- our most favorite beach house in Surfside Beach Village.This was the most colorful house on the roads. We enjoyed driving around and looking at all the vibrant colors of the houses and all the items decorating them.
These kids had just cleaned up after a day on the beach and are just swinging on the swing; waiting for the burgers and dogs to be ready. Salt water sure did make this group a hungry brood...they ate like crazy during the whole trip.
For some reason, this picture will not move to the top of my blog post..this is the beginning of our trip. Everyone loading in the car with headphones on as we are driving off down the driveway to begin our vacation....they look like they are ready for the beach.....
Surfside Beach, until next time...

And they were defintely ready.. we had a GREAT TIME. We enjoyed the sun, we played in the sand, no one got really sun burned, we enjoyed the house that we rented for our trip -- it was like a little home away from home, we will definitely repeat this trip again.
Surfside Beach, until next time...
