Vacation to Houston

 We went to Houston for a family member's celebration of life. While we were an hour from the ocean, we decided to take the girls (along with their cousins) to the beach! We went to Galveston beach for a morning of beach and ocean play followed by a ferry ride. While on the ferry we saw all sorts of water fowl and tons of dolphins!! 

The next day, we went to the Houston Arboretum and Discovery Center. It was fun to compare the flora and fauna of Texas to our arboretum in Kansas. The kids also enjoyed the animals and curiosities in the Discovery Center.
