There's nothing like the beach in October!

We just got back from a wonderful little vacation with Charlie's family to Galveston Island.  It was actually the first vacation in a LONG time that I actually didn't want to go home..a very, very good sign!

 Time with grandpa...hands down, the favorite part of their trip! :)

 Malachi was not quite as gentle as grandpa! haha

 And this was how Ezekiel spent his time...running from all authorities and frolicking in the sand  :)

 But daddy finally caught him....

 And he didn't seem to mind too much!  :)

 Sandcastle building!  That shovel is as big as Ezekiel's whole body! haha

 Someone had the GREAT idea to bury Ezekiel in sand!!  hehehe

 I'm not sure what he thought about it though...  haha

 Malachi's turn!!!! 

 Although I think Malachi had even MORE fun burying his big sister!!  :)

 Charlie, his brother Nick, and Ezekiel playing frisbee...I'm not sure it's really fair for Nick though...2 against one- the odds aren't looking good!  :)

 His cousin was also sporting one of these floaties...the only difference...she's 8 months old..not 20 months old! haha

 Annabella insisted that SHE was GG's nurse and she was going to be taking care of her from now on..I wouldn't put it past her!  :)

Really Annabella..you need ALL that??!! haha

 A LONG day at the beach and finally we rest!  :)

 My favorite people!!!!  :)

 :)

 I love this kid

 Ahhh..I love THIS kid too!!!!  :))

 hugs  :)

 And of course we HAD to find time to snuggle with GG!!!! :)

The kids did NOT want to leave..and who can blame them?!  Awesome grandparents, a ridiculous amount of snacks and an endless amount of sand to throw...I mean, really....can it get much better than that??!!  :)
