A Quick Trip to Galveston

One perk of Houston is our proximity to Galveston. Sure, it's not the most desirable beach in the world, but you can smell the salty air and pick up a few sea shells. Keep an eye out for those glass shards though. On this particular morning, there was a kind old fisherman who drove up in his pickup truck and told us to keep an eye out for the "ki-oats." That's "coyote" to those of you who aren't familiar with the accent. He said he'd picked up a dead one on the beach recently and didn't want one to get my dog or baby. Thanks, Mister. So sweet of you. Now don't let that mental image spoil these pictures and video of our morning in Galvatraz.

"Skip Skip Water" is Avery's version of "Skip to My Lou." She's just discovered this skill and is a skipping maniac. Notice how she gets freaked out when the waves come her way but she tries to play it cool.
