A day at the Beach!

We went to Galveston yesterday. It was our first time there since Hurricane Ike last year and we enjoyed the day very much. We packed a picnic lunch (which the gulls attacked as soon as they caught site of food!) and enjoyed our day of sand and sun. Aelia was pretty disgusted with the sand at first but soon got used to it and really enjoyed digging with her shovels and helping Amasa build a sandcastle. She was pretty funny with the water. She would start to walk in but as soon as she saw a wave, she would run from it shouting, "OH NO, OH NO". It was pretty entertaining to watch. Malachi also thoroughly enjoyed the day. He was pretty sad when it was time to go home...but after 4 hours in the sun, I thought it was time to go.
