October day at the Beach

We have had for the most part a pretty awesome october. One saturday after soccer we went down to the beach for the afternoon. We had packed the car up in the morning and did not tell Hailey. She must have seen the beach toys in the back when getting in her carseat cause as we got on the highway she asks "Daddy, are we going to the beach?"

We went a further down in Galveston to a different area, where its not longer considered seawall blvd. It was a great beach (and right across from our fav burger place in Galveston). The beach was very wide and the water was shallow for a good while. There were people fishing and it was still 75/100 yds out and it was maybe waist deep. Great spot!! We had a family next to us that was doing some fishing and getting a good amt of fish. We walked and found some hermit crabs and I found a half of a sand dollar(have not found one of them since I was a kid in jersey), we also found some nice shells and few that had some living sucker things in them. After the beach we went to the Aquarium at Moody Gardens for some looking of the sharks,Hailey's Green Eels were not around though :(

Hailey's favorite thing to do at the beach is to find a little pool of water to play in.

Building some sand castles. I build them....she eventually knocks them down

Doesn't that water look beautiful!! Yes...its the Gulf of Mexico!! even looks almost blue!

Hard at work at the beach playing in the sand

Hailey hard at work....nice butt shot of me.....yikes!!

We were hoping to go back down this weekend, we got a bit of a cool front that came in this week and our HIGHS have been in the mid 70's and the lows in the 50's. We will see if we get there.
