Trip to Galveston

This past Thursday - Saturday we went to Galveston compliments of the Conroe UPC Jr. Bible Quiz Team. They so graciously got together and rewarded their coaches with a trip to just getaway and disconnect. They sent us to a nice condo and gave us spending money. Thank you so much for your nice gift. We had a fun, relaxing time away. We took the girls and Theo (our new puppy) with us. We opted to wait until 6:00 pm or so to take the girls to the beach so they wouldn't get sunburned and so we wouldn't be so miserable in 100 degree weather. During the day we took ferry rides, ate sandwiches at the condo, played games and just relaxed. Any time you go to the beach any and everything you touch gets dirty. It makes you feel gross. So we decided since there was no one at the pool back at the condo we should all just go jump in to get all the sand off before taking showers. Brooklyn loved that idea, Ashlynn...hmmm....not so much. She loves to take baths but hates pools & the water at the beach. She much rather play in the sand/mud than to get her feet wet at the beach. When we were leaving Galveston today Ashlynn made sure she said bye-bye waters. Thanks again Bible Quizzers for your generous gift. Check out the pics!

Sandy memories! Pails, shovel, castles, and gritty kids is the perfect combo for great summer memories. Gotta love all 3 of the Backhus girls :)
