Galveston Bound!

The Hood family invaded Kara and Paul's home in Galveston over Memorial Day weekend. We had such a good time and really didn't even want to leave Monday---but we had to. (sigh) The kids had a great time. Aunt Kara set up a tent (yes! a real tent!) in her living room every night for Ben to have "camp outs" with Daddy---he loved it! And of course, Ben LOVED the beach! He got very comfortable playing in the waves and didn't even flinch when the salt water would go over his head! He loved every minute! Logan also had a good time. We took him to the beach for the first time. Unfortunately, after about 15 minutes of him getting there, a huge thunderstorm was approaching with a lot of lightning, so his beach visit wasn't as long as we had hoped. He still had fun. Logan sat with Aunt Kara and Uncle Paul in the waves and even got a few fist fulls of sand into his mouth before his Aunt and Uncle noticed. (oops!) We had a great time and can't wait to go back. Logan touching the ocean for the 1st time!

All that wave action made him quite hungry! :-)

Thanks Kara and Paul for a great weekend! We love you! Can't wait to invade your home again soon!
