On July 16th Nick's cousin Amy was married in The Woodlands. (I sadly don't have any wedding weekend pictures, but if I get any I'll post them later). We took the opportunity to enjoy some beachtime in Galveston afterwards with Grammy, Pops, and Aunt Manda.

 Evie's first-ever taste of the beach!  Of course we had to go down right away, before we were even in swimsuits!

 Trying to figure out the whole "wave" thing.

 Safely back in Daddy's arms

 The excitement was just too much - passed out in her Baby Bjorn at the dinner table.

 Hanging out with Dad at the Moody Gardens aquarium - her favorite thing about the whole trip!

 Fascinated by the sealife in the tunnel

 Watching a shark swim by above her.  She arched back like this for a long time, following different fish around.

 Up close and personal with Dad's favorite animal - penguins

After Galveston I met up with Katie, Lauren, and Leslie, 3 of my best college girlfriends for a weekend of fun in Austin.  We had so much fun I hardly took any pictures.  Boo!  Here's the only one I have, of Katie and me at Hula Hut.  Yummm!  Also, a big thanks to Edie and Grandad for coming to Austin to take care of Evie so I could enjoy time with my friends.
