4th of July - Galveston

After getting the kids home from the parade and down for a nap we headed to Galveston for the fireworks..woo hoo..it's about an 1 1/2 drive and worth every minute..I know I know you think it's crazy, but you sit right on the sea wall overlooking the Gulf..the breeze is blowing in and it's absolutely gorgeous and relaxing...The kids did great !! We were sooo proud of Austin..we had our little area set up and he never tried to run or leave the area..he would take one or two steps a little too far and would stop and come back when asked..it was amazing..the only time he ran off was at the very end..The finale was on the final bit and he was jumping up and down and clapping and started kinda running...lol...It was awesome..The traffic was a little rough getting out, but Shane knows Galveston sooo well we jumped around most of the main streets and missed a lot of the traffic..got home after 12:30, hit the garage door opener and our dog was in teh garage...still can't figure out how she got in teh garage..we found where she dug out, but I don't think even she can hit two garage door opening buttons...hmmmmm

*some of the pics are gonna be fuzzy bcuz I am still learning how to do different things with the camera

Guess where we ate for dinner??

The kids were just waiting..very patiently I might add...

Keira playing "drum major dancer player"

Even though she ended up wearing sandals Keira's shoes normally light up..well since Pinky Bear is wearing a matching outfit as she is, her shoes had to light up too...lol..Mommy is goood !!!!!

Cookies, light sticks, capri suns and fireworks..what more can a girl ask for?

Watching the show

She couldn't stand it..Had to stand up..lol

Some one is FINALLY starting to fade

He was standing right in front of me and I had been taking pics of the fireworks which is why he is fuzzy, but it's still a cool pic !!!

Those were just a few of the fireworks they had...We even saw a smiley face..YES a happy dude in the sky..of course I didn't have the camera ready..oh well...Happy 4th of July !!!
