A few more pictures from Discovery Green. We walked around the gardens and got a picture with my dad, Drake, me, Della and Harrison.
Most of us look excited to be there...
On Thursday Jeff took the day off work and decided to come with us on a beach day excursion. We started by driving out to Galveston and took a ferry ride to a peninsula off Galveston Island.
Our family on the ferry. Harrison loved the ferry ride but did not want me holding him for a picture. He wanted to be looking in the water and at the birds and pay attention to what was going on around us. Jeff and I took a ferry trip on our Honeymoon so here we are almost 5 years later (plus one!) on the ferry again.
My two favorite boys!
Can you tell we are related? My three youngest siblings who came for the visit (Della, Diana and Drake) along with me and Harrison.
After getting off the ferry we found a really quiet beach. We decided to eat lunch here and Harrison was happy to be out and running freely. He would run right up to the water, touch it quickly and then run away. It took him a little while to warm up to the water.
He liked throwing the sand the best...
and then his shoe when it fell off.
The waves were each so different that he was very cautious. One would knock him over so the next one he would back up for. He loves the water but did not like being knocked over.
While at the beach we found a large jelly fish (dead of course) washed up on the shore. My dad cleaned it off and no one else wanted to touch it.
We found some flowers and my sister looked beautiful with one in her hair.
After lunch, we took the ferry back and found a much less rocky beach. It was a lot warmer here too because it was more protected. Here is teeny, tiny Dad with the video camera in hand.
Again he loved playing in the water but was a little tired and got knocked over so he just wanted to sit and cuddle with mom...I wasn't going to complain!
Cute little feet!
Overall, a relaxing day at the beach for our family.
Friday everyone was tired from the beach and running around all week so we just stayed home and played. Drake didn't leave the couch once before noon!
Then we took a trip to the park when Jeff got home from work. Harrison loves to swing and my mom got this great picture. Pure joy!
Harrison with Grandma and Grandpa Willerth
At the park, we thought about playing soccer and then the goal post fell right over, so we played kickball instead.
Posing for some pictures before bedtime. Everyone was leaving the next morning before Harrison woke up.
We had a great time and look forward to more visitors in the future!

How fun that your families have been able to visit! Texas looks like such a fun place to live. I'm so jealous--I would LOVE somewhere within driving distance to the ocean. The Houston temple is beautiful! Harrison is such a cute, happy baby; he's such a good picture taker! What a fun spring break!
Looks like you're keeping busy! Lucky you to have all these visitors! I can't believe how grown up your brothers & sisters are though - it's been a long time since I've seen them I guess! Harrison is adorable - looks like he's keeping you busy! Miss you!
You guys are sure keeping busy!! Glad you are having such a fun time!
You've got some great pictures!
