State Tournament in Galveston

Happy Memorial Day!  We were fortunate enough to rent a beach house from Thurs.-Mon.  Maddie had her State 6U Softball Tournament there.  We weren't able to get a hotel ($250/night), so we rented a small beach house and split it with our parents.  It was perfect and cheaper than a hotel!  If you haven't checked out http://www.vrbo.com/, you should.  This is our third time to rent a home from there and we haven't been disappointed yet!  Enjoy the pictures.

Daddy and Maddie spent alot of time "hanging" out in the hammock downstairs.

 The kids LOVE the beach.  The water was rough the whole weekend and the seaweed was plentiful!  YUCK!

Paw Paw helping Colton "surf" on his boogy board.

 This is what Colton does at the ballpark while Maddie is playing.  It keeps him close to us and we don't have to worry about him running around like crazy.

 All the moms got together and made each girl a fleece blanket that was monogrammed with their name, year and allstars.  They LOVED them and Maddie sleeps with it every night.  Great gift!

 6U Rose-Rich Stampede.  We came in 17th out of 40 teams.  Not terrible, but would have loved to go further.  After this we went to the beach as a team and Adam cooked burgers at the beach house for everyone.  It was fun to see the girls get to play outside of the diamond.  They all had a blast.

 PawPaw helped C &M track down the ice cream truck!  Of course they ate their ice cream on the way back, even though dinner had just come out of the oven.  :)

 Paw Paw & Colton playing Angry Birds.  They also played alot of Wii tournaments.

 Dinner on the back porch!  Doesn't get better than that!
