Beach Vacation 09

We went to Galveston this past weekend for 4th of July. The Smith's are in Europe with my parents, so they let us use their beach house. It was a perfect getaway for us. Jackson absolutely loved it! He loved the beach, the beach house, the boats, the fireworks, eating all our meals outside...everything! I'm sure Ben loved it too. I have a lot of pictures...

He had to settle for the pool. He really wanted to "ride the boat."

The beach wore this kiddo out!

so proud of his castle

These guys take playing in the sand seriously!

typical - always copying Dad

This kid knows what a beach vacation is all about.

We didn't get any pictures of the fireworks. We watched them from the deck of the house. I wasn't sure how Jackson would handle it, but he thought they were so fun. After every firework, he would say "fi-yur-works". Then in a really high-pitched, excited voice, he'd say "did you see that one?!"

Thank you Smiths for sharing your beach house. We had a great time!!!
