Labor Day Weekend: Crystal Beach

It was a beautiful day so we decided to try out Crystal Beach.  We drove down to Galveston and took the ferry over.  I wish I had my camera out on the ferry ride because there were dolphins jumping EVERY WHERE!!  We couldn’t count them there were so many!!  This was London’s first time to go to the beach at the ocean and she LOVED it.   She maybe loved it a little too much because she really wanted to eat it!  She was not afraid of the water at all.  She wanted to crawl right into it!

Hudson also had a great time!  There were some Japanese fishermen not far from us.  Every time they would catch a little fish, they would bring it to Hudson to put in his bucket to play with.  His bucket started getting a little full with 5 fish and we had to politely tell them we had enough fish to play with!

I finally gave up on trying to make a kite (since I can’t sew) to finish off Hudson and London’s playroom and I found the perfect one to buy.  We decided to take it down from the toy room and take it with us to the beach.  It flew perfectly and Jason had fun being the kite pilot.

More pictures of London squishing the wet sand in her hands and toes!
 
Hudson and Jason had lots of fun playing in the waves.  Hudson got on Jason’s back and pretended Jason was a boat.

London took a nice nap with the ocean breeze blowing on her while she listened to some good ole country music.

Hudson discovered he would sink into the sand if he stood still long enough.  Then he tried to pull Jason out of the sand and 'save' him.

On our drive to the beach, Hudson watched Shrek.  He thought the part where Shrek took a mud shower was really funny so he decided to take a mud shower too.

Here are the fish that the fishermen gave him:


Here is London’s 1st trip to the beach picture.  Unfortunately, she was too distracted by the sand to look up at me but it’s still cute!  It was a very fun, very perfect day at the beach!
