I knew I’d never get these pictures blogged if I didn’t just stick them in a quick collage.<\/p>\n

Even though it’s Galveston, it’s a beach with sand and waves and the kids had a great time! They had an even better time at Moody Gardens but I didn’t have my camera out for that. <\/p>\n

We stopped at a store so that all of the kids could use the restroom before we got there because we went to the west end of Galveston where there’s not a lot of restroom locations. We were there no more than 10 minutes before Drew runs up to tell me that he has to go potty….#2. I looked around…no restroom in sight, just private beach homes. The other kids had all just gotten in the water. Dragging 5 other kids out of the water, through the sand, and into the van just to drive back into the main part of Galveston did not sound like fun. So, being a resourceful momma I dug a hole. Yep, that’s right I dug a toilet out of the sand. But first I had to decide where to do this. There were quite a few people around us. On one side was a in-love-young-twenties-never-had-kids couple and on the other side was 2 moms with their kids. Ok, gotta go with the moms…they’ll understand. The hole in the sand wasn’t quite working so we added a brand new bucket to the hole. Now he had a bucket toilet that he could even sit on. Kristen and I held a quilt around him for a little privacy — and to shield our embarrassment — and the deed was done. And then I buried it. Deep down. <\/p>\n

Hey, it’s better than him going in the water:)<\/p>\n

I’ve been wanting to get a picture of these condos that were damaged from Hurricane Ike. Finally, when I went down for a photo shoot a few weeks after we were there with the kids I was able to have my camera ready.
This is driving up to it.

This is from the other side. Not bad for a drive-by shot, huh?

This used to be a huge pier with shops out over the water. From a distance the truck looks normal and then you get up even and realize it must have been placed there during the hurricane.
