A day at the beach

On Saturday around 12:30 we left for Galveston. We drove and drove, looking for a place where it would be just us. After about 30 mins of driving and looking, we finally found a place off of a neighborhood. Wonderful! I could hardly believe that Carl was serious (that he found a place w/ no one).

We had sooo much fun!! It was simply a blast. Claire has been to the ocean before, but she was about 5 1/2 months then. Now she is 11 months. She absolutely loved the water! Of course, she would have put a lot of sand in her mouth had we not stopped her. Hehe. She crawled (not near the water, believe me!) That was fun for her. Carl swam some.

We got home around 4pm. Claire had a nice long nap. I made supper, cleaned and then made a dessert to take to Joe and Care's. When we got there, Claire saw this interesting toy that Julia just got from a neighbor. She got to the toy (or near it) by walking 6 steps!!!! I wanted to cry; I couldn't believe it.

Claire is needing me (as usual). I've been on here for awhile, trying to post all the pics. Now I'm leaving. Love yall!!!

Awww wow, that must have been so exciting for her to take those steps! :) Sometimes it just takes something they really want to see to be determined, I guess!
