The Brown Family: Galveston Island Fun

We just got back from Galveston and had so much fun with The Browns and even the uncles came. This was our second trip to Galveston in the last 2 weeks. Just can't get enough :-) Its so nice to be able to just sneak off an hour away and be at the beach. Not exactly the best water, but still....THE BEACH! We all had a really good time. One the first trip Will got stung by a jellyfish after being at the beach for about 15 minutes...YES a jellyfish! Never a dull moment :-) He thought it was so neat to have such a cool story to tell his class when we got back.

The second trip we relaxed, swam at the hotel pool, went to palm beach, ate lots of yummy foods around the island, went to mass at St. Patrick's. The boys kept busy each night with the Moody Gardens "Kids Crew" activities. They had everything from hula hoop contests, limbo, face painting, smores, and a really fun Wii competition. Here are a few pictures from my camera phone.

Below are some pictures of "celebration of learning" for first grade. And meet our new pet - Troopy. Mrs. Turner had three fish this year and the top three students with the best behavior got to keep one...and Will won! Welcome Troopy Brown :-)

Louis hula hoop contest. Getting low :-)

Face painting in the lobby - Louis insisted on being an LSU tiger and Will....a collaboration of Mario's Mustache (notice it is on his forhead because he ran out of body parts to paint...LOL) mario and lugi hats, a ninga and snakes on his arms! Love them!

Thomas and Louis across the booth from us at Denny's. Those of you that know us well, know that breakfast is probably the most important meal of the day....we went to Denny's I think twice while we were there :-)
