Our Trip

We spent this weekend in Galveston. We stayed at the Moody Gardens Hotel. We had a great time. We got there Friday evening and ate dinner and then hit the pool. On Saturday morning it rained but we did not let that ruin our trip. Moody Gardens has 3 pyramids and so we went to the aquarium. We saw first saw them feed the seals. Then we went under and the seals swam right up to the glass. Next, we got to see a scuba diver feeding some fish, manarays,a turtle and small sharks. Then we had sharks swimming above and around us. That was really weird! Last but not least we got to see them feed the penguins (we saw them chunk one in the water it was funny).
After the aquarium we decided to drive around and let LB get a little nap. We went to the strand, saw the cruise ships, and just cruised for a little while. We ate a late lunch about 2 at Gaidos! It was delicious. I use to eat there with my family when I was a little girl. The place really hadn't changed, it was a trip back in time. By this time it had stopped raining and the sun was out! So we went back and got our swimsuits on and went to this beach but it wasn't a beach! It was a big big pool with sand all around it! It also had a splash pad that LB had a blast running around on. LB could swim all day!! After this area closed we went back to the pool at the hotel and swam some more. Finally got out of the pool about 7 p.m.! We got cleaned up and went and ate at Sonic, which was right on the sea wall and watched the waves.

Sunday, we got up and had breakfast and then went to walk on the beach! LB at first was excited (as you can see from the picture of her pointing) but once I took her shoes off and we went near the water she did not like the waves coming over her feet. We only hung out for 30 minutes or so and headed back to the hotel. We requested late check out so we did not have to be out until 2 p.m. We head straight for the pool. We same for a while and then got ready to head home. As you can tell from the pictures we really had a great and relaxing time! But it was back to the real world! We walked in the door and went to lay LB down for a nap and surprise! Part of the ceiling in her room had fallen!! G spent about 3 hours cleaning that up!! Oh well! Such is life!!

On to something else! I just wanted to tell you that LB is growing up way to fast! She will now have a convsation with you! Most of the time you can understand her but sometimes you can't! She has gotten to that stage where she loves to imagine play! She loves to play babies and she has a little kitchen set she plays with too! She knows most her animal sounds (duck, cow, sheep, cat, dog, pig, horse, etc) a few of her shapes! She will tell you where her eyse, ears, nose are oh and yours too!! She loves belly buttons!! We are working on colors right now! She will be in a 2 day a week mothers day out! She will be in the 2 year old class! She is suppose to be in the 18 mo b/c she isn't 2 by Sept. 1st but I am working in the 18 mo class and thought it would be better if she wasn't in my room! We start on Sept. 5th! Well I know this was a big post but I had lots to tell you!! Love ya'll
