Our dear friends from NE came to visit over Thanksgiving. The girls had never been to the beach so we all made a trip down to Galveston to Stewart’s Beach. Can you tell which ones are Cornhuskers? Well . . . all but Madie and she was born in Ohio so she has thick blood too. All of the kids were out in the water playing. I should have had the kids in their bathing suit, but I thought they wouldn’t want to get too wet. Before I knew it they were all in the water playing and having a good time. Ben and Madie were soaked. They played in the sand after a while. Madie was trying to teach Erin how to body surf. Truth be told . . . our landlocked friends were becoming one with the water. If only they had more time. Ainsley had a true side kick in Alexis. The tallest and the shortest were buddies during their visit. I’m not sure whether or not Alexis wanted a six year old sidekick the entire time, but Ainsley was quite happy to be any where that Alexis was.
We had a delightful lunch at The Spot in Galveston. I had never been there. It was a great lunch. We got to sit out on the deck and watch the gulf while we ate. Plus watching the birds steal french fries while the girls got up from the table was funny too! I couldn’t convince Jill to offer the the “King’s Burger” at her restaurant in Geneva. For 199.99 you could get a hamburger and a bottle of Don Perone (?). I’m not sure who would buy that kind of a meal, but your typical Midwestern would not. I am not sure who would buy that. The entire trip was great and so much fun to spend with friends.
