Ferry Ride

We walked on to the Bolivar Ferry in hopes of seeing some dolphins, and they obliged by following the ferry part of the way back!  Between the aquarium, unsuccessful fishing, yummy seafood, and the ferry, we had a fun time in Galveston this week.

A Cold Day at the Beach

It was a little cold and damp during our trip to Galveston, but we were there to let Grandpa see the Gulf, so we didn't let the cold stop us!

The intention was to take a walk on the beach, but the pull of the surf was too strong for Naomi, Johnathan and Ezra.  By the time we finished our walk, they are all soaked from the waist down!  Only Abby was determined to stay dry.

Galveston Getaway

While Grandpa was visiting, we wanted to show him the Gulf, so we took a little trip to Galveston.  Our first stop was the aquarium at Moody Gardens. 

The penguins were a favorite with everyone!

In the shark tank!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Happy birthday to Mom!  She enjoyed a party while Grandpa was here, and this year Naomi baked her birthday treat - "Cookies Stuck in a Brownie," as we call it!

Upwards Basketball

Johnathan was back on the court this season for Upwards Basketball.

This year Dad was a fan instead of a coach.  But Johnathan was excited to make his first basket this year.  And he even made a goal when Grandpa came to visit!

The Rhinos worked hard, and were excited to win their final game of the season!

Leaving a Legacy

Some pictures from Zion's Grandparenting conference, taught by Cavin Harper.  We had a special guest come all the way from Colorado to attend... Grandpa Boaz!
