A few weeks ago Jacob had a conference in Galveston at the Moody Gardens Hotel, so we decided to tag along with him. The girls had a blast at the beach and swimming at the hotel pool. The first night we arrived we went to the Rainforest Café for dinner. It worked out perfectly because they just happened to be having a bday party for the frog that stays there. The girls got fun prizes, cupcakes, and party favor bags. They thought that was pretty neat! After dinner we headed for a late night swim at the hotel pool and hot tub. The next morning before Jacob had to be at his conference we took the girls to the beach. I'm sad to admit it, but I think this may have been Avery's first trip to the beach! And she loved every minute of it. She ran into the waves and played in the sand. It was so cute!
Sweet girl out on the rocks.
Miss Sydney had fun walking out on the rocks.
And Jayda had to get her picture taken with the ocean in the background. She was loving the beach too!
Heading back to the shore.
Avery Mae is definitely a beach loving girl!

Jayda wanted at picture with her Daddy at the beach.
Splashing in the ocean with Daddy!
Love those curls, and those legs!!!
After the girls played at the beach for a while, we headed over to the fairy to take a ride. The fairy took us to Bolivar Peninsula and then brought us back. The girls were super excited to take a ride on the fairy! We saw lots of dolphins jumping up out of the water so the girls loved that!
Dolphin watching.
Sweet pea had to be held up the whole time so she could see the dolphins too.
For Halloween this year Sydney was an angel, Avery was supposed to be Arial, and I'm really not sure what Jayda was going for. We weren't able to get Avery into her costume because apparently it "hurt" (scratched) her too much, so she just wore her trick or treat t-shirt. :) It just wasn't worth the battle! They sure looked cute anyway though and had a ton of fun!

Silly faaaaaaceeee! These girls!
And they even got a little Halloween surprise from Oma! :)
Jayda worked the Halloween carnival at the fairgrounds for a while to get in some of her 4-H service hours. She also made a dozen cupcakes and a cake for the carnival. Way to go Jayda!
After Jayda finished working we headed out to Elkins to Willa and Evie's house for a Halloween party to meet up with the rest of our fam. Heather had set up some really fun Halloween games, and they had a bounce house and dinner for everyone. It was so nice! Once we got there everyone was heading out to go trick or treating, which is the best part of the night for the girls!
Running to the next house for more CANDY!
This little candy lover was in heaven trick or treating. She thought it was the best thing ever and kept telling people "I need some more candy", after they would give her some! She is such a little mess.
Little buddies Avery and Evie back at Evie's house after trick or treating. These two are so cute together!
A few of the kiddos all dressed up at the party! We had such a fun night. Sydney even said it was the "best day ever!"
