My cousins, Marianne and Brenden, and Aunt Bridey just made their annual trek to Texas. This year was super cool because we all met up at Ga and Pawpaw's beach house.

I was immediately enamoured by Brenden, or "boy" for short, especially after he started reading me Curious George stories, my fave.
Me and Marianne played at the beach - I gave her a fun for her money on being able to keep up with me. I'm just fast!
Good times building a sand castle.
And cooling off with a pop-sicle back at the beach house.
Look everyone, I'm taller than GA!
We all love to eat watermelon at the beach, especially Brenden. He's got on braces now, so he's limited in what he can eat.
Marianne and I shared pop corn, one of my new favorite foods. If I could eat ice cream for breakfast, pop corn for lunch and gummies for dinner, I'd be set. Of course I eat most of what they put in front of me, but if I had my druthers...Sometimes we get bored at the beach when we aren't allowed to go to the Ocean during the heat of the day.

Then, we have a BIG WATER BALLOON FIGHT!!!!
And get Aunt Bridey...
and dada and HIS NEW BOAT all wet!
Sweet Marianne - hasn't she grown up into a beautiful young woman?
This is one of the only pictures taken in Katy. We spent as much time at the beach as possible.

Point made. Where the bull-DOE-zers are, I am.
Ga and Pawpaw were just so happy to have all their grandbabies together.
One of our favorite things to do at the beach is get ice cream - see below for picture of the ice cream truck.
I am learning to share.
I want to grow up to be just like Brenden. He is funny and sweet and creative and of course, loves ME!Mama and Marianne checkin' it out.
A bathing suit shot? Well, she's seen better days, but mama's been working hard at the gym. Can you believe they've been married almost 5 years, together almost 15?

Pawpaw with his prize golf cart in the background, charged and ready to go.
Pawpaw did fireworks with Marianne and Brenden. I didn't like the noisy so Bridey took me inside. One day Marianne and Brenden got to go to the waterslide at Crystal Beach. That's Marianne shakin' her stuff up the hill to get to the slide.
Sweet ride.
One day Brenden, Marianne and Bridey drove to Sugarland to meet Wesley Wright, the new Astro relief pitcher. We got hugs from Junction Jack on the way in.
15 second moment of fame - we were on the Channel 13 news. Well, our feet were...

We're all growing like weeds.

But, all good things must come to an end. My buds all left last weekend and are safely back in Missouri and ready to kick off another school year. All we can do is wait for next year. Love you guys!
