So, after the long drive to Houston and then onto Galveston we finally made it! We had such a great time, but I think Jaylee had a total blast!!! I really thought the beach would intimidate her and be scary for her-- boy was I ever wrong! She was a brave little girl! Every time a wave would knock her down- she was ready to get back up for more! She loved the waves, the sand, the birds that would fly around close to her.....it was such a fun time for her! I had more fun watching her than enjoying the beach myself. I remember as a child that my mom would always sit back and watch us do things, and I never understood why she was just sitting there, not having fun with us. However, I get it now. The feeling I get when I see Jaylee having a fun time and enjoying herself is my fun now. I could have taken pictures all day/night of her and her Daddy enjoying the sand and water! We did eat at Landry's while at Galveston and it was by far complete deliciousness! We totally splurged with an appetizer of grilled shrimp that had Monterrey jack cheese and bacon wrapped around and served on a bed of onion strings......oh my...it was amazing! Jaylee and I shared a bowl of shrimp alfredo, mainly because I wasn't too hungry after that appetizer and she loves alfredo noodles. We then topped off the meal with a bananas foster dessert that was really good/ different. We very rarely ever treat ourselves to a full course meal, but it was nice for a change!
After enjoying our meal at Landry's we headed off to Houston/Katy to Uncle Don and Aunt Christi's house. It's always a fun time when the Ray's get together! Jaylee was a fish the entire time at their house, she saw from 3 that afternoon until 9 that night.....she really enjoyed their dog Willie getting in the pool with her and playing ball! Uncle Don prepared a huge feast that night for us all and then as well the following morning for breakfast!! We then were on the road back to come home!
Yesterday, was a day of Goodbye's for Jeremy's family. Jordan left for his new job in Monohans..... Justin went back to Frederick, Jeremy and I came back to Canadian, and Judy left this morning for a trip to Arizona...... talk about a spread out family currently! I swear God is really trying to teach me something throughout this time of my Mom being far away, and now Jeremy's family being all strung out in different directions. I know there is a reason he has put all of us in different locations, I just have yet to figure out the true purpose/meaning of it all.
