Our WAC-ky Week of Fun in the Sun

Our first full week of summer couldn't have been more fun! We kicked off the summer in style with a 3-day Galveston adventure with some of our favorite friends: Michelle and her two boys, Brady and Tanner, and Julie with her two boys, Benjamin and Timothy. We have plans to get these kids together often this summer, so we decided that we needed a name to describe our get-togethers. We came up with WAC, which is an acronym of our last names, and boy do we have some WAC-ky times together! :-)

We rented a 3-bedroom condo at The Galvestonian for 2 nights, and it was perfect! We spent our days at the beach, resort pool, and just hanging around the condo. We spent our nights enjoying dinners with yummy ice cream treats and putting the kids to bed early with a movie while the Mommies relaxed. I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or the Moms. Here's a recap of our awesome WAC-ky week in photos.


All 6 kids lathered up with sunscreen and ready to go. Sunscreen applications probably took a good hour out of each day, ha!




6 silly kids!




Lined up and ready to swim! All 6 kids are incredible swimmers this year.




Loved this pic of Kaitlynn jumping into the pool.



Drying off after a swim. You can see the gorgeous view from the swim deck. We LOVED our condo!




This is what snack time and lunch time looked like while we were there.





Our boys in a pose reminiscent of a similar photo from last summer. 



Beach time! This was their favorite activity (of course).




The kids were subjected to "The Rules" before playing in the water and wandering off too far.





Connor on the beach.

Could these boys be any sweeter?




Playing a game of Memory before dinner.





Galveston's Rainforest Cafe is such a fun spot for a family dinner.





We even rode the River Adventure Ride inside the restaurant.





Another night for dinner, we ate at Fish Tales and admired the new Pleasure Pier across the street.





Time for an ice cream treat!




Ice cream overlooking the water, so fun!


We capped off our week of fun in the sun by gathering at Julie's house for some food, drinks, and fun with the entire families. Finally we managed to get a picture of the Mommies.

Michelle, me, and Julie. So blessed by these friendships!




As if they hadn't had enough of the water, the kids enjoyed some swim time at the Aasmyrs' new pool. So fun!




This about describes our week. Sheer exhaustion.
