Galveston 2016

My parents rented a beach house in Galveston again this year so everyone spent a weekend there.  We lucked into some pretty nice weather and enjoyed the house that overlooked the ocean!

We got there Friday evening and headed out to check out the water.

Some little sisters are always trying to bother their big sisters!

Olivia was a little hesitant at first about the sand, so we took turns holding her...


But, by the next day she was more comfortable and discovered her new favorite thing to do - throw the ball for Crosby.



Which is lucky because his favorite thing to do was catch the ball!



Of course Olivia and Crosby had their own cheering section!

Our house had a huge porch outside with 2 hammocks, which allowed for lots of swinging and cuddling:



And a bunch of chairs to enjoy a sunset/sunrise





And Olivia and Crosby formed a surprising friendship - she kept referring to him as her "cousit"


And of course, she was thrilled to have her aunts as a captive audience for games, coloring, playing with the baby dolls, and just general lap-sitting!  

We played several games of Zingo and when Olivia and Naz were on a team, Olivia told us it was the "littles" (she and Naz) against the "bigs" (me and Yazzie)!

There was lots of delicious food, including these Watermelon Rice Krispy treats recommended by my friend Bethany that were a huge hit!

After all that sun & playtime, everyone was tired!




On Saturday afternoon Mimi and Grandpa went to take a late afternoon nap and Olivia made everyone else do some coloring 

But my favorite part of the trip was when it was time to wake them up, and all the sisters, Olivia and Crosby piled in bed with Mimi and Grandpa!

Some of my favorite people in the world all piled into 1 bed.
