Summer is here. we know in H-town because we had three consecutive days above 100 last week. Good thing we were headed to Galveston for a long weekend with the neighborhood gang.
We weren't sure what to expect after Ike, but agree Galveston looks far better than we anticipated. There is damage. There are homes gone but there are also entire beachfront neighborhoods standing.

After Destin last May, G had one observation. "This water is nasty," he declared without solicitation. We had to laugh. But as far as the gulf goes it was cooler than bath water and we've seen it worse. Our observation is that the semi-private beach makes a huge difference over a public pocket beach and the big bridge seemed bigger when we were younger.
We joined the latter part of a week long trip the Friends of Red core group whipped up. In all, my head count was more than 25 including the kids. I am so grateful for this little network we have of really fun families. What a great time!
We know G had a good time because he literally didn't stop talking the entire way home. I've never heard him so on fire. Ever. And the pelican dove into the water, and they launched the sail boat, and we built a sand castle and my kite broke and I don't like watermelon and, can we watch Spiderman when we get home?... The child's mind was on what seemed to be an endless loop replaying the whole thing.

The kid was exhausted. We'll all sleep well this Sunday night.
Pictures are posted at snapfish. I continue to have a thing for people walking away... so there's a lot of that and I was having fun trying to create silhouettes. This is one of the lessons learned in the photography class I took last June, from which I have yet to complete the homework. Someday. Skill or luck, cute kids on a beach are always a good subject to play with.
