Galveston Island

It was incredible to see the amount of destruction that remained, but it was also incredible to see how many businesses and homes had been repaired already and back to pretty much normal.

McDonalds was completely knocked down:

See the giant hole in the beachside hotel?

Sweet cheeks...

Cousins having fun dumping water in a hole:




Trying out a photoshop action called "Heartland":

Attack of the birds!
In the background you see the seawall that is approx. 12 ft. tall, the storm surge of the hurricane was well above that!

Having fun with Aunt Carrie:



Uncle Jason and Syd:

The girls found some dollies left on the beach:

and here they are drowning them (actually they said they were washing their hair!):


The kids were totally enamored by a baby sitting near us:



Jamie loved to swim in the ocean as the waves were really small and gentle. Both Chad and I walked him out aways into the water.

Unfortunately, there were a lot of jellyfish that day and Jamie ended up getting stung, the lifeguard gave us some vinegar and he felt better in no time at all.

Thanks for the pics. They are all cute. I love the one of them dumping water on Abby sitting in the hole.
