Over the Christmas holiday the kids and I took many trips to Moody Gardens. On this trip Shawn got to go with us. We had lunch and tried to see things in Moody Gardens. Unfortunately, the one thing the kids wanted to see was closed. That was the gift shop! They wanted to spend their Christmas money there! Go figure! We appeased them with the aquarium and then we finally got to go on the paddle boat. I loved what part of the ride I could enjoy. Ashlyn wanted to run around so I had to restraint her kicking and screaming. A few times I let her sit by herself with her sister.
After that we went for a drive. The kids have been so mad at me because they wanted to see the beach and touch the water. They just don't understand about cold water! Well, they found out. Shawn took us over to San Luis pass and I wish I could have gotten pictures of the road. It was just gone! Nothing! The kids though it was cool to see but they thought it was suppose to be that way. Finally, they talked dad into stopping along the beach just so they could see what it was like.
The wind was whipping and it was COLD. Did it stop my two punks from playing in the water??? NO!!! Alyssa only got knee deep! She knows cold when she feels it! She still chased the waves and searched for shells and laughed her head off but she knew it was cold!
Austin is a different story! I got this shot right before he body slammed a wave. I don't think he felt the cold until it was time to load up and he had to strip right there on the beach with 20mph wind whipping across him! He loved every minute of it. I guess I know what I'm doing this summer!
I know it's hard to tell but Austin is SOAKED!!!! Shawn hated this part, he hates sand and all that. He was pouring water from our water bottles on the kids just to get the sand off and complaining about the sand they would get in the truck! They had fun though and that's all that mattered!Now that my computer is fixed I will update you more and soon!
