My favorite part of going to any beach is to find a great place to eat seafood. On the first night of the mini vacation, we went to a place that was advertised on the highway. While I enjoyed my meal, Kim did not, so we won't go back. The highlight of the evening was definitely watching Maddie discover the lobster tank. She eventually caught onto our watching her, but it's still funny. Enjoy!

Weekend in Galveston
Finally, the clouds parted and the sun came out for about an hour. Given how long it takes to load the car with beach gear, we decided to get in the pool. Maddie took swim lessons last summer and loves the water. Kim worked on diving this particular weekend. Kim is so good with kids in the water. It is in these situations that I get to know who her dad was, who passed away before I came along. She is so patient and gentle. McKenzie is a true water baby. She loves putting her face in the water. She holds her breath beautifully and submerges her entire head. It's amazing! McKenzie began copying the diving lessons and did her own thing off the step into the pool. Very funny!
Moody Gardens
Well, it's raining again. It has been raining for weeks. We took the girls to Galveston on July 5 to have a mini vacation. I had to be there for business, so the family came with me. We had hoped the rain would stop long enough to play on the beach, but it didn't. Instead, we spent a day at Moody Gardens. I don't know the complete story behind Mooday Gardens, but I can tell you it is huge. Within a huge pyramid, there was a rain forest. In another pyramid, an enormous aquarium. Through the end of August, there is a dinasour exhibit. Since Maddie loves dinasours, we spent a log of time there too. It was a fun day and we plan to go back.
My favorite part of the day was the aquarium. We had the chance to watch the seals being fed. They are hysterical! We sat there for the longest time watching them play and swim and be silly. Maddie loved the pinguens, which are all the rage right now. Kim's favorite part were the sea horses. And McKenzie loved it all.
