Crystal Beach

We needed a fun trip for the kids.  By August, summer was starting to get long and they were in need of a fun day away.  So we took off on a Saturday and went to Crystal Beach.  It's just a fairy ride away from Galveston.  There are always seagulls that come to the back of the fairy as you take the 20 minute ride across.  We brought some bread and the kids had fun feeding them.




The two little girls always love the beach.  (well, so do the bigs)  They take off running and splashing and start enjoying themselves as soon as we get there.


My little surfer girl.  With all the swimming Syd did this summer she got pretty tan.  And with her blonde hair, Sam always says she looks like a little surfer.  She is full force at the beach - loves it!




The big kids are always busy building sand castles, skim boarding, and swimming together.  That's why I love the beach - the kids play all day and I get to enjoy watching them have fun while relaxing a little myself.





When we were done, the fairy ride back to the main island was the perfect time to change clothes and then we were off to dinner at Rudy's Barbecue, a Texas favorite.  It was a great day!
