. ...beach .

yesterday we loaded up and headed to houston.  our first pit stop was the children's museum, but since there were about nine million people there, i had to chase my children instead of taking pictures.  i know, i know ... but i just couldn't risk losing one of them.  that place was nuts.



after a few hours there we headed to the beach.  the girls absolutely love it and i needed to earn to good mommy points.  i would go to the beach every single day of my life if i was guaranteed two things ... #1 that my legs didn't burn from shaving the night before and the salt water.  #2 if there was a shower within 5 feet of my car.  if i can't shower before i head home, i am not a happy camper.  so you can only imagine what the ride home was like and how my thighs were feeling 2 hours after leaving the beach.  i think i was the first one in the shower when we got home.  {i won't mention that my sweet girls stayed awake the ENTIRE trip home.  the WHOLE 2 hours.  laughing. screaming. singing. at 7:00 PM.  they did not sleep one wink at all.  no nap.  nothing.  i just knew playing all day would wear them out.  boy was i wrong.}



we had a blast though and here are just a few pictures of the 250 that i took to prove it ... (note: i did have my swimsuit on, so you will NEVER see a picture of me here.)

i had to threaten karsyn that i was going to load her up and take her back home if she didn't smile for at least one picture for me.  this girl knows how to get to me.  she quickly smiled and said "ok, that's all."

saying sweet baby LOVED the beach would be a complete understatement.  she absolutely loves the water and sat for a good 30 minutes (no kidding) with a shovel and pail playing with the sand. 

the end.
