The End of Summer/The Perfect '10'

With school fast approaching and summer slowly coming to an end, we thought this was the perfect opportunity to spend some time at the beach. Since we rarely get out of the Clear Lake area to eat dinner, we thought we'd mix it up a little bit and take the kids to the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston and go to the beach. Since the kids didn't seem to take to the beach very well during our beach house vacation this summer, we weren't sure how they'd do. But once they warmed up, they really seemed to enjoy it. The kids had a ball!

Here's Layton playing with another boy his age on the beach (Layton is the one in the back). We think he's found his long-lost twin. They look so much alike, don't they? Weird, huh?



Here's some other pics of the kids at the beach. Ashlyn is playing with one of the frogs we got the kids at the Rainforest Cafe. You didn't think we'd make it out of there without buying something for the kids, did you?:) Of course, we had to buy something for Layton after he fell out of his booster seat at the restaurant. Yes, Layton had another accident. I'm beginning to wonder if he's somehow inherited my penchant for having freak accidents. Of course, he's doing perfectly fine at the beach. My poor, sweet boy...


Flashback to the '70's. Here's Ashlyn pretending to be Bo Derek in the movie '10', minus the cornrows...


Here's Layton in his '10' moment. Hope having mommy in the background, doesn't spoil it!
Hope your summer was wonderful too! How are you spending your 'last days of summer'?

You crack me up!!

Hey! If Jason's in the mood to watch the kids and you're in the mood to get out tomorrow, call me. Maybe we can go to the mall and shop clearance sales. We still have MONTHS to enjoy those summer clothes that are selling out!

How Fun! K. was so excited to see a picture of Ashlyn! I loved the beach growing up. I'm going to have to make sure my boys know what a beach is- How sad! No beaches up here!

I'm glad yall had another fun adventure before MDO/Teaching starts!

What a perfect way to spend the last days of summer--although technically it will still feel like summer for a long time!! Can't wait for a bit of coolish weather!

Your pictures are great--so close and candid--love them!
