This year we spent a relaxing Labor Day visiting Stewart Beach in Galveston. The sand, sun, and good friends provided an ideal play day for our four busybodies. Brendan and his buddies spent hours building in the sand; Audrey learned to boogie board with me; Madeline ran around with her cute girlfriends; while Caleb lounged in the mud and under the shade canopy with dad. Some of us mommies tried our hand at body surfing and had a blast playing in the waves, watching from afar as the dads did their best to keep track of all the kiddos. What a fun excursion!
We did receive several unfortunate sunburns, and spent the week rubbing aloe plant leaves all over our arms and backs (thanks Maren & Megan for your generous donations to the sunburn cause). We are now back in business and enthusiastically watching as the poor burned skin relics peel away. So very relieved to be done with the tender skin stage. One tip for future beach trips: sunscreen lotions work so much better than sprays!

I LOVE Madeline in the last picture. I am glad all the burns worked it's way off! It was a great day for the beach!
Ah! We made the same mistake with the sunscreen. And we almost went through the entire can of SPF 50 just at the beach! Love the pictures, though!
Maddie's glasses are so a-dorable!
When you're here you won't have to worry about sunburns, lol.
