Between Adam, Blake Emily & I finding a time when we could all go on vacation together is pretty tough so when we found a week in August we could all get away we jumped at the chance. We all had some pretty rough weeks so a vacation was just what the doctor ordered for all of us! Although vacationing with a baby is a tad more difficult and requires much more supplies we made it work! I'm glad Blake & Emily could join us we always enjoy going places with them and it was nice to have the extra hands to help with Jack.
Headed to Galveston, Charlie Monkey kept Jack entertained!
We got to Galveston late Friday night, it was after 10:00 but the boys still stayed up till 3:00 in the morning fishing. We always stay up late fishing when we go to Galveston and then the next morning we sleep in to make up for it but that is no longer the case, Jackson woke us up nice and early at 6:45 ready to start the day, Mom & Dad weren't quite so ready but since we were all up we headed over to the beach to take a look..

Later that morning Adam & Blake decided to head out and do some fishing in the boat while the girls and Jack went in town to get groceries and supplies.
Jackson wanted to get a picture on the boat with the boys
They caught a shark!!!
Meanwhile Jackson was having fun with the girls at the grocery store
That night Jackson enjoyed an avocado for dinner
After dinner was done and Jackson was put to bed we settled in for a night of fishing.
I caught a Trout
Emily caught an Eel, you can tell she really wanted to hold it!
The next day while Jackson was down for his nap I decided it was time for me to finally try out the kayak. I never tried it out before because when Adam got it I was pretty pregnant and didn't feel like that was the best time to try it out. So while Aunt Emily and Uncle Blake stayed with the sleeping boy Adam & I headed out to the bay in the kayaks...
I had a lot of fun it was very peaceful being out on the water like that and fun hanging out with my husband in the kayaks.
Adam was trying out Blake's kayak for the first time
headed out to the bay
we had fun kayaking together it was a nice date!
After our kayaking date was over we all got ready for a trip to the beach. Jackson has been to the beach once before but this was the first time we actually put his feet in the water...

He is not really sure why we are doing this to him

Blake caught a big catfish on their last trip out on the boat
Adam & Jackson enjoyed swinging on the swing
Jackson playing with the hammer Uncle Blake got for him
Jackson liked crawling all over Uncle Blake
Loved waking up to this view every morning
Jackson had fun taking a bath in the sink
I am starting early trying to get him to be an Aggie one day!!
and of course the boys had to try doing some kayak fishing at the beach
We had a good time hanging out at the beach and Jackson did really well but eventually he was hot, tired and sandy and it was time to head home and shower and nap. Later that night after Jackson was in bed it was time for more fishing, if you can't tell yet that's always how we spend our nights in Galveston.
I caught this blue crab but there was no way I was holding it so that is Adam holding it in the picture
Adam caught this Trout
Blake caught this ribbon fish
It had really creepy teeth I didn't like this fish
We had a fun night of fishing and of course the boys stayed up way too late. The next day we headed to The Strand and ate lunch at the Gumbo Bar and walked around.

The last day of our vacation Emily and I got our nails done while the boys watched Jack. I don't have any pictures from them watching Jack but it sounds like they had some fun adventures. We had a really great time and I am glad we got to go! Here are some pictures from the rest of our vacation...
We had a great time and did a lot of stuff but also spent some good time relaxing. We can't wait to go back again for another vacation, I am already ready!
I'm excited today because we are only one week away from the beginning of Aggie Football Season!!! I love Aggie Football it's my favorite time of year, as fall starts to begin and all the fun holidays start and it will be even more fun with Jackson around this year. I will leave you with a picture of our future little Aggie Class of 2034!!!
