Rainforest Cafe + Beach = A Good Day

Our last day during our visit to Texas, we were able to head down to Galveston where for lunch we got to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. Now for those of you who have never been, it is a really cool atmosphere, great for kids, and pretty decent food. The inside is all "rainforesty" (hence the name) and every so often the animals come to life all around the restaurant...its pretty cool. It was also our brother Nic's 20th Birthday....lets just say he had a pretty good day!!

Nic, the Birthday Boy with our "ever so sweet' Addison who is more than happy to be getting her picture taken..(she really does have issues with that, but we still love her)

The Birthday Boy....Nic is one of the funniest people you will ever meet, the goofball stole this hat off of the display table at the front of the restaurant--in his words "I wanted a Birthday Hat to wear today and this one was just lying there, so I took it"....Oh Nic!! I think he ended up leaving the restaurant with the hat as well without them knowing....OH well, it can only be worth all but 0.30 cents (I hope)!!

Addie and Macey in front of one of the fountains inside the restaurant.

Zoey wearing Nic's stolen Birthday Hat

The front of the restaurant...and once again, Addie being ever so happy to be getting her picture taken distracting Zoey at the same time

Mike and Zoey in front of the restaurant...with Heather and Christian on both sides Not looking.


And after our lovely meal, we were Off to the Beach...I must say, I was not all that impressed with the beaches of Texas. They seemed very dirty, but HEY--it was a beach, and a beach is a beach so we just went with it. It still ended up being a pretty fun day and the water wasnt all that freezing either.

All the grandkids....at least the babies were smiling!
Macey, Zoey, Will, Addison, Sunny

Zoey and Will...they are buddies--they are all but 2 1/2 months a part in age.

Zoey, Addison, and Daddy building a sand castle

2 of the most adorable girls there playing in the sand

Zoey really enjoyed playing in the sand....actually is was more of Eating the sand, rather than playing in it....oh well, a little sand never hurt anyone

Proof of her Eating it

Mommy and Zoey in the Gulf of Mexico...look at me rockin' the Farmer's Tan--- You know you like it!!

Daddy and Zoey catching some of the waves....notice all the seaweed behind them lying on the beach--yeah it was pretty gross trucking through that stuff.

Addison was in HEAVEN!! This girl was born to be in the water...she loves it and wasnt too happy when it was time to leave.

Another shot of the lovely seaweed....And Addison not very happy with it being time to leave.
