Galveston 2009 (1 of 6 posts...yes 6)

This past week was wonderful! Jason, Kaylie and I met up with Jason's family for our annual family trip. We have done this 5 out of the 7 years Jason and I have been married. The 1st year we did not think of it and the 5th was the year our little miracle decided to make a very early appearance to the world. Jason and I love these trips. The first few were cruises but now that the dynamics of our group have changed we have opted for a more quaint type of adventure so for the past two years we have gone to Galveston were his grand parents rent a house for everyone to stay at.

Last year Kaylie was 1 and crawling. She did not like the ocean at first but on the last day she loved it. Go figure! This year Jason and I were nervous she would hate it. She has become significantly more fearful of a lot of things so we did not know. Thankfully she loved it!

Since I was challenged by Jason's coworkers to put up pictures of Kaylie's beach experience I did that and then some. Needless to say I have five different posts of pictures. Since I use this as a type of keepsake I decided I would put every picture I liked on it. That means you will either have a lot of pictures to look at or a lot of pictures to skip over.

Jo and Papa...thank you so much for another wonderful year! We love you so much and hope we can do it again next year!

The 4th of July was her first time to step on the beach since last year. We were so happy to see such a short adjustment period. Since she has become worse with her sensory issues we were worried she would hate it. Playing with sand in therapy definitely helped!

We were very careful in how we interacted with her int he water. We did not want to risk her falling and freaking out.

Whenever she is nervous she will stick to her daddy like glue. She is definitely a daddies girl!

This is the house we stayed in. It was so nice and somewhat child friendly. If we didn't feel like going out to the beach we could sit on the porch and enjoy it from the house. This was nice when Kaylie went down for a nap. Jo and Papa...thanks for letting us stay with you! We loved it.

WOW! With 6 posts, I don't know which one to comment on! :) It looks like you guys had an awesome time!!! Kaylie looks like she had so much fun and was very brave with the ocean. There are so many good pictures that you took! It must have taken you forever to post all of these! I hope that we will get a chance to hang out again soon!
