Water Wars Returns!

The first water war of the summer took place after swimming last Saturday morning!

"You can run, but you can't hide!!"

Ooops, T man found himself caught in the middle...

"I'm faster than y'all!!" Wahaha!!!!

Thomas is about to get wet!! =)

Belle is about to get even wetter!! Hee Hee!!

Thomas acting like he doesn't feel his sister doucing him with water!!

Daddy thought Shelby needed a shower!!

Then the tables turned and both kiddos attacked Daddy...this was followed by...

THE DADDY'S REVENGE BUCKET!!  Then I couldn't help but notice Thomas's water gun had a little spurt of water coming out about to hit James. I guess this was his sister protection duty of the day.

I'm sure Round Two will be coming up later in the month!!

Day at the Splash Pad...

Yesterday, we spent the day here...our last "hoo-rah" before school starts.

We got there when it opened at 10am...and the kids were ready to hit the water!!

Heading to the big slide for the first time together...

Coming off the slide...

All smiles and fun...

The second time they went Thomas was on the front and I zoomed in on them...

There they go down the Lazy River...

Under the bridge in the waterfall...it was shady and cool under there!!

One of the play areas with a smaller slide & giant dump bucket...

Giant bucket dumping on the kids...

I think they liked it...

My Belle in the lazy river!!

Then our buddies showed up...Shelby's best friend, Logan, and her little sis, Carys.

A cute bunch...

My Thomas in the lazy river...

Thomas going solo on the big slide!

Logan & Carys...love this shot!

Belle making a splash...

We had a blast yesterday and will definitely go back next summer!! =)

Final Beach Photos

Here's the last of my beach photos that I'm going to post. I love this shot of Thomas...it's one of my favorites from the day. =) Getting to be such a big boy! I can't believe he will be 9 on Monday!!!

A familiar sight in Galveston, the cruise ships coming and going...notice the huge water slide on the top, left side...how cool.

The beach...

Shelby and James had just finished releasing all of our hermit crabs from the day...

Always lots of pelicans flying...

Driving home...Houston skyline at sunset!

Very relaxing and great time at the beach, as always!! And it's fun to have a grandparent tag along too. =) Until next summer...

Beach Day - Part Three

Continuing with my Beach Day photos...
James hunting for shells and hermit crabs...he somehow always finds them!!

My Shelby...

A wave crashing over James...

Yep, that's me out there...tankers in the background...that's how you know you're in Galveston!!

Thomas playing with a crab...

Smiling Belle, she's so happy she's at the beach!!!

Grandma snoozing after we ate lunch!!!! HA! HA!

Ahhh...can you hear the waves?!?

Beach Day - Part Two

Beach continuation...
Thomas liked playing in the sand A LOT this year...you can also see more progress on our sand castle here.

My baby boys sandy feet...

My girl...messy hair and all. This girl loves the beach. Shelby was squinting hard because Mr. Sun was out by now and the sky turned blue...

Working hard bringing water in for the sand castle...

K and J...

Forever...

Thomas catching a wave...

This is Shelby's favorite thing to do...float on her Boogie Board and catch waves!!

More beach pics to come...First though, we have Thomas' first scrimmage game this morning against the Lions. Have a great day!!
