Texas Trip- Part 4

Wednesday we went to Galveston to a family friendly beach (where they plow the sea weed away). Even Isaac and Molly loved the water and waves at this beach.

Mom, Annie, Chris and I went kayaking while everyone else stayed at the beach a couple more hours. I have no pictures of our kayaking, but it was so fun. We went out to an island with all kinds of nesting birds and floated on a "lazy river" all the way through the island. At one point we were attacked by birds who were dive bombing us because they thought we were to close to their nests. We also stopped at an oyster reef.

Later that day G&G had a tea party with all of the kids (except those who were sleeping)

And then we all watched all the hermit crabs we had found at the oyster reef. If we stayed really quiet they would come out of their shell and walk around.
 Cody did not think they were so neat. He was very frightened when they would start walking around.

Thursday we drove over to NASA. It was fun and very interesting. We went on a tour first of the whole grounds. They built NASA to look like a college campus, and it does.
 This was the old command center. I almost felt like I was in the Apollo 13 movie :)

Our house was perfect for our needs. It had 4 bedroom, each with a queen size bed, a triple bunk bed and its own bathroom!
We left the beach house Friday and went back to David and Julie's for the kids to have a babysitter and the adults to go to a baseball game. Unfortunately, I had to stay home as I had just come down with the stomach flu. All the adult girls got it sometime during the week, but luckily no kids got it!
Our reunion was so much fun! We love the time we get to spend together.
