Catching up...June!

We hit the ground running in Texas, finding fun stuff to do admist the unpacking!

Our dearest friends Sanda, Brett, Mason and Ethan were our first visitors. They came and stayed with us for a weekend and we had a blast catching up with them. It's just awesome being so close to them again that we can get together often!
We also got ourselves a Y membership. We've never lived close enough to one before, but now we have one just down the street. It's fairly affordable as gyms go, and the best part is that Emilee and Trevor are allowed to work out with us (most other gyms do not allow kids or charge a crazy extra amount of money for your 16+ year old). So we've been able to go to the gym as a family...and yes, the kids kick our behinds stamina-wise lol!

We've also been hitting the water for some boating. A little in the lakes, and a little in the ocean.
The city of Kemah does Friday night fireworks during the summer, so we've been heading over there as often as we can. We anchor in the bay, take snacks and drinks, and enjoy an amazing fireworks display.
Galveston Island is also close by and that means some beach time. Though it's nothing like the California Coast, it's still a nice day trip to get out of the house and play in the water.
