Just after school let out, the girls and I headed to Houston for a 6 day trip to see my parents and other friends that still live there. We took a day trip to Galveston and the girls had a very fun afternoon playing in the sand and water. They didn't need the pristine blue waters or white sands of the Carribbean to have a great time.
Abri would run into the waves as the water receded, then turn around and run back to shore as the tide came back in, and laughed with abandon as she called, "water tickles!" At one point, I walked with Emma and Abri into the water until the water got up to Abri's shoulders. A wave came in and about toppled her over, filling her mouth and she sputtered a bit in shock but I was impressed when she recovered very quickly and didn't get frightened by the experience.
Emma loved sharing the sand castle toys another little girl had brought, and the feel of the water. She didn't like the algae that occasionally caught against her limbs, but it didn't stop her from getting in the water, which I worried might happen since she hates sand at the playground here at home.
