The Beach

Way back in April, Lincoln and I took a quick trip to Utah to see Britney come home from her mission. The morning after we got home, Mike had a geology convention to go to in Houston. We thought that it would make a fun little family vacation and hoped to spend some time on the beach in Galveston. The beach was a first for the boys. 

Naturally, we had to build a sand castle.  With a moat (which Lincoln fell into literally a second after taking this picture).


Clay surprised us all and had no problem jumping into the ocean. On several occasions, I had to call for him to come closer to the shore.


Jack on the other hand, was not too sure about the ocean and didn't dare touch the water...


Which was surprising, considering what a little fish he usually is and how he definitely looked the part (with his way-too-long surfer dude hair).


(sheesh... it was long)


He became much braver when holding Dad's hand.



Now Lincoln... he was a big fan of the beach.  That kid had sand e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.  He also liked to crawl after seagulls. 

 
Our beach trip was so much fun and is still a great memory to us.
