Galveston 2012! Vacation Day 2

It was projected to rain our entire vacation but we lucked out and it rained during the night and early morning. We had a leisurely breakfast in the lobby and Ethan spent time watching the giant fish tank. One of the hotel workers spotted him and came over to feed their largest fish a grape so that he could watch. He enjoyed pointing out the colors of the fish and calling the little fish "babies". By the time we were ready for the beach at 11:30 am we had blue skies!




Knocking down the castle. He knocked them down faster than we could build them! At one point he had so many smashed castles around his feet that he was buried up to his knees. Morgan asked him where his feet were and he looked up puzzled and and said "I don't know!".





"Bye Bye Airplane!" There was a small plane carrying a banner that flew back and forth along the beach advertising. Ethan got excited and stopped to wave each time it went past. He loves airplanes!

After three hours at the beach we stopped by our favorite shaved ice place, Rita's, before heading back to the hotel for a swim. Ethan and his Aunt Morgan got some bonding time in while swimming together. We tried to keep Ethan up so that we could all head over to the Strand for some shopping but this little boy was so worn out from no nap + a day at the beach and the pool that he climbed into his bed and fell asleep. After Morgan and Mom returned from the Strand we woke Ethan up and we all headed out to Mario's our favorite pizza place on the island. I wish I had brought my camera along to document- they have the best homemade pizzas!

Later that night this kid was bouncing off the walls from his nap. Here he is playing with his "yowie babboon". It lasted three days and provided a lot of entertainment!




Once kiddo went down for the night the rest of us sat out on our balcony and played a game of dominoes while eating our cannolis/cheesecake that we bought "to-go" from Mario's. I don't know which is better- their pizza or their cannolis!
