We had a memorable trip with our life-long friends (more accurately half-life for Greg and ten plus years for me) on a weekend getaway to Jamaica Beach in Galveston. We usually travel at least once a year together as a group where typically gambling is involved, but every now and then we like to include the kids. And by kids, I mean seven kids total, aging from one to six years. It was a full house to say the least.The kids had fun playing pirates with some of Brady's leftover party supplies from his fourth birthday. They dressed the part, made treasure maps, crafted pirate hooks, and even went on a treasure hunt. Miss Haley had cupcakes for the kids to decorate and almost succeeded in getting Cash to eat his first bite of icing but at the last minute he changed his mind. It was almost a monumental moment since Cash only eats the cake part of cupcakes (Brady only eats the icing so it works out well). Why am I sitting here talking about food? The best part of the trip was the BEACH!!!
Brady turned pro surfer on his boogie board and caught every wave for hours. Cash loved playing with his little boat and running in and out of the waves. He even let me carry him out pretty far which is a huge feat compared to his Hawaii trip when he didn't even want to get his toes wet in the ocean. Brady and Cash both enjoyed building sand castles with their friends and we all even played marine biologists for quite a while looking for crabs, shrimp, and other critters under the seaweed. This led to Brady becoming the sea monster with seaweed covering him from head to toe.
Everybody really had a great time! The only changes we want to make for next year are to stay longer, two nights was definitely not enough, and we will need a larger house considering another baby is due in October!
