Family Fun

The last couple days in Galveston we spent a lot of time together doing all sorts of activities. We stayed busy and had tons of fun, but we were all tired!

One of the highlights of the trip for Bentley was when Shandi shared her pink hair dye.  Zadi and Shandi helped to make Bentley have mermaid hair, and she couldn't be happier!
I showed her a picture on the box with the ends dyed or a few chunky streaks and asked her which one she wanted.  Of course she didn't pick either of those; she picked the one with the entire head dyed pink.

Always smiling!
Ta-da!  It's not nearly as pink as any of us thought it would be, but she loved it!!  I think her hair needed to be lighter for it to show better.

She was super happy with it! But she was really sad when the pink was gone.  Maybe we'll have to try again next summer!
Yep, I finally let her play in the sand.
Sara helped her play in the waves!!

Beach Bum
Sara and Robbie made sure that our kids were hydrated by constantly giving them Gatorade or Yahoo to drink!!  The kids loved it!
That night the guys went fishing.  Unfortunately, they didn't have much luck from the shore either.  The fishing was a disappointment all around this time.



Yep, she ate it!!




She really seemed to love the water.




Papa didn't get much of a break while we were together. There was usually more than one or two kids on his lap at a time!

The Ferry
 The last morning we were there we drove to the opposite side of the island to ride on the ferry, hoping to see some dolphins.  The kids had a blast feeding the sea gulls and loved the ferry ride.  We saw some dolphins, not super close, but we did see some.  Thankfully we went in the morning, but it was HOTTTTT!!

Kyler didn't hesitate one bit to feed the birds, however, all the other kids were not so sure!
There were so many birds.
So many containers on one ship!  That was a BIG boat!
Trying to get the birds to come eat from his hand.
Loving the ride.


Going to check out the upstairs

A Dolphin!!!
Out of order, but this was before we boarded the ferry.
This was a transportation ferry run by TXDot.  It was a pretty efficient system.


Fearless



The birds were flying everywhere!! If you watch close you can see a bird take some bread from my hand. 



Looking for dolphins

Water balloon fight!!
Poor Robbie was chosen as a target for some reason, but he took it so well!

She was having fun too!
And of course, Papa was chosen as another target.
