Gulf Coast Beach Weekend

We had a fantastic time at Surfside Beach on Valentines weekend. We pratically had the beach to ourselves sine 65 degrees is too cold for the Locals. Everyone just drives right out on to the beach.

Sky loved feeding the seagulls untill dozens began swarming her fighting for food.

Sand art ruled the day, but we plan to bring buckets and shovels for sand castles next time.

After the Beach we drove the Blue Water Highway over to Galveston and rode the ferry to Bolivar Peninsula. Dolphins accompanied us across the bay while we passed a shipwreck and several barges. Bolivar showed many signs of Hurricane Ike but we did find one restaraunt still open. STINGEREY a seafood place uses discarded oyster shells to fill puddles in their parking lot. There is nothing like eating good seafood while watching the fishing boats come in. Though unwilling to eat them Cole would not put this little crawfish down.

Steve was in Heaven.

Sky's First Day of School in Kingwood

Dressed as a fifties girl, Sky's first day at her new preschool. She still complains that it's boring but somehow she always has big smiles at the end of the day and loves her new class mates.

Halloween 2010

EMMELINE continued the family tradition being a baby dragon on her first Halloween. She was quite a show stopper during the five minutes she was actually awake.

COLE the giraffe practiced the policy of "one for you, one for me"

Steve went all out at the trunk-or-treat rigging giant spiders which dropped down on unsuspecting kids. He successfully freaked plenty of innocents. Interestingly the little ones didn't mind the creepy spiders but rather the Dads shrieked like little girls.

Too cute! For all to enjoy.

These days we are happy if just one is paying attention to the camera.
