Pirate's Beach 2013

We just got back from Pirate's Beach in Galveston.  The house Dad rented was absolutely perfect!  It was kid friendly with lots of toys, baby gates, two pack n' plays, sippy cups, etc...  Not to mention, it was soooo pretty!  Good job, Daddy!  Last year, Pearce was just about 6 months old and he did enjoy the beach and have fun, but I was hoping this year he would really enjoy playing in the sand and water.  Well, he did!  Ashley and I and the kids met mom and dad down there on Thursday afternoon.  Wayne came that night.  Chris had to work, but came Friday.  We did not waste any time getting our suits on and heading to the beach!  It was so fun watching all of the kids run and play and have fun digging in the sand.  All 3 of them loved it and were ready to go each morning!  Daddy rented us this golf cart to take back and forth to the beach.  It definitely came in handy to haul all of our beach gear in. The kids loved taking rides around the neighborhood in it too.  Pearce feel asleep on Mama when she and Papa took him for a ride. Each night, Nathan and Charlotte would go crab hunting.  Chris and I went with them the last night and man, those things are hard to catch!  Nathan was definitely a pro at it, though!  The cousins had so much fun playing together.  I say this every time, but Nathan and Charlotte are soooo sweet and helpful to Pearce.  They are buddies and it is so fun to see them together!  Me, Ashley, Wayne, and Chris got to go out to dinner on our own one night while Mama and Papa kept the kiddos.  We had so much fun together and had the BEST seafood meal!  Can't wait to do this again next year!!!  Here are just a "few" of the pictures we took, haha!!
