Well...we've officially started SUMMER over here!! We took a week off in May and headed south....alllll the way down to Galveston Island. The kids were SO EXCITED to see the ocean for the first time!! I was really anxious about the drive but everyone did great!! We had one leaky Pull-Up incident before we ever got out of Oklahoma, though. That was okay...gave me a chance to stop at McDonald's and get a sweet tea. I will not lie and say that the hotel room wasn't a little stressful. With four young kids and a small hotel room, it got a little cramped. Fortunately, we were out playing most of the time.
The kids really enjoyed the ocean. We found several different types of sea shells and crabs. We rode a ferry for the first time and saw many dolphins in the water. We saw several pelicans and feeding the gulls was so fun. If you started to feed one, then TONS would fly over. They hover over you just waiting for food. A few even ate right out of Matt's hand.
Hoping that this was just a prelude to a summer filled with lots of fun and many happy family memories!!
What are you plans for summer?
(((Anxiously awaiting Oklahoma to be DONE with tornado season. It has been a devastating year here for those....feeling very blessed that we have had no damage to our home and praying for those who have lost everything.)))
