Friday iPhone Dump #51

So, this past week, I took a lot of pictures in Kemah and Galveston and basically nothing else all week!

We left Friday morning and stopped in Kemah before getting to Galveston. Since Kemah and Pleasure Pier are all owned by the same person, we could buy one wristband and use it both days...awesome.

First stop...the double decker carousel.


Hannah LOVES carousels but Momma does not. So, Randy got to handle both of them at once (Jacob is pretty low maintenance these days).


Then we rode the train.


And I rode an airplane swing thing with Jacob that went high and Randy didn't like (I don't like going round and round and he doesn't like heights...perfect).


He wasn't scared at all. He kept asking to go on the rides that he is too short for!


Lunch break at Bubba Gump.








Back to rides! He couldn't ride the tall drop thing, but he liked this one enough!





Airplane ride...almost too baby of a ride for him.


In the Ferris wheel. Randy looks plenty calm here but believe me, he freaks out when you're stuck at the top and your 14 month old starts moving a little...freaks.





Family picture turned out cute. This is a picture of the picture because I haven't scanned it yet.


This was probably Jacob's favorite ride. Me...not so much. And, we're pretty sure he got slight whip lash from this one. Later that night his neck was hurting and he couldn't turn his head one direction for a few days...oops.


Yes, I stuffed myself into the kiddie Ferris wheel for Hannah.


Selfie on the train!


Just the boys...with a little Hannah photo bombing.


We headed down to Galveston to check into our hotel, eat dinner and see some beach. It was SO foggy there on Friday night. But the kids didn't care! Those are crazy surfers (it was cold) in the background, not sharks. :0)


Pretty girl!


The boys, walking in the sand.
The girls prefer concrete.


Worn out!!


Saturday, we hit up Pleasure Pier. I won't tell you how much Jacob hated these bumper cars that he was driving himself. Let's just say he prefers riding while Momma or Daddy drive. Also, notice his strange head tilt here...that may or may not be the whip lash from the previous day. Oh, you might have whip lash? Great, then try the bumper cars...





They did the water ride...and got pretty wet.


Enjoying lunch (and a beer)!


That evening, we ate dinner at a restaurant called Salsas. Aren't they cute?


We tried another new hairstyle...piggies!


Since Disney bought Lucas Films (Star Wars), I have heard that the Disney Stores in the mall have a lot of Star Wars stuff. There isn't one real close to us in Katy, but there was one on the way home in an outlet mall. After stopping there, we found out that the outlet stores didn't carry the Star Wars stuff yet. Jacob wasn't too upset but did really like this costume...and it was clearanced. :0)

Here he is without the mask...


This is his mask from Christmas...


Because the mask they sold with the costume was terrible. Maybe that's why it was on clearance!!

During bath time, she tries to eat the bubbles. Here is proof...


He constantly tells her not to eat them...constantly.


Elf on the Shelf in March? So tacky...


One day, my island will be clean. It may even have some pretty decorative stuff on there. But, for now, this is what it looks like every day. And I'm ok with that. I'll probably even miss this one day...


In case you haven't seen their spring pictures, here is my favorite one. And if you want to see them all, google Anetrius Wallace Photography. (I'm in my phone so I can't do a real link)
She did a fantastic job considering Hannah barely sat still.


This is, of course, an older one (since we weren't in Livingston this week) but Mom just sent it to me. Nothing like riding a covered jet ski in your PJs and jacket!


We are headed to Galveston for a very short vacation on Friday. What do you do with a half packed suitcase? Put your kids in it and give them a ride around the house!!





Someone didn't want to get out!!

One more picture from my parents house last week. After Hannah pulled every single toy out of the toy drawer, she decided to climb into the drawer.


On Monday, Jacob had another dentist appointment. He was very excited to go. But, mostly because he remembered they have a tree slide in the waiting room.


He was very good, though. Here he is watching the movie on the ceiling.


Hannah was not impressed and screamed a lot.


The only time she was happy was when waving and saying "Hi baby" to herself in my phone/camera.


Jacob got to pick one prize when he was finished. He picked...a baton. In all fairness, he told the lady that he wanted the "green light saber". But, it's a baton.


Seriously, she loves looking at herself.


On Wednesday, we went to Blessington Farms where you can pick your own strawberries (we didn't) and play at the farm. The kids really enjoyed it!





Train ride...


She was not very happy when we were sitting still but loved the ride.


Jacob even got a little dirty and played in the sand pile!


I have to tell you the conversation that occurred before this next picture because, if I don't, Randy threatened to blog about it and we all know he embellishes the truth.

N: "Jacob, go stick your head in that strawberry and I'll take your picture."
R: "I don't think that's what it's for."
N: "Of course it is. We're at a strawberry farm and he gets to pretend he's a strawberry. Now, Jacob, go stick your head in there and smile."
R: "I REALLY don't think that's what it's for."
N: "Yes, it is. (A little bossier now) Jacob, go stick your head in there!"
J: "It's really hard to do. And why are there bean bags back here?"
N and R: "Oh, it's a bean bag toss game. That makes more sense!!"
N: "Jacob, get out of there. You look silly!!"

You have to admit...he's a cute strawberry.


At least I was right about what he was supposed to do here.
