Part 2 of our vacay!

Camdyn LOVED the sand and water. I was thinking that she might be a little leery about the two since this was her first time to truly experience them together. This little girl ran right for the waves and giggled every time that a wave would hit her. I promised her that we will take her back to the ocean/beach each summer :) I don't think I would mind that one bit!


Day 3, we drove down to the beach and let Camdyn explore it. This is how she felt about it!

I am in love with this picture! Cammy looks like she is ready for an Easter egg hunt!

The following day we played at the small beach at our resort!

The night before we left, just us 3 went to eat at Willy G's. This is a fabulous seafood restaurant on the Strand (in town). I love going into town there because they have super cute shops and a wonderful candy/ice-cream parlor! We showed Camdyn a good time!

Cheesecake ice-cream AND...

Rock candy!

And last is just a sweet picture of Camdyn with her Abby- Abby made the cut to go on our vacation!

Diamond Beach Resort-Part 1

Awwww...vacations...they are always so enjoyable! This year we booked a beach house in Gulf Shores but the oil spill caused us to have to relocate our vacation. We would have loved to experience this beach, however, we were very pleased with our nearby stay in Texas! Dustin and I laughed on the way home that there was no way that US (not Camdyn) would ever be able to handle that long of a drive. We have it in the works to FLY somewhere next Summer!

We stayed at a new resort in Galveston called Diamond Beach resort and we enjoyed waking up to this each morning!

On the other side of the resort there was a huge lazy river that we floated in each day. While Camdyn was taking a nap, Dustin and I would float the river and just enjoyed each other. So peaceful :) Camdyn also highly enjoyed it.

There was also a slide that D loved going down. I went down it once and it was a blast. Camdyn loved the slides last year but this year a little boy told her that it was too fast so every time we would ask her if she wanted to go her words were "mommy, slides too fast". Maybe next year!
One of the highlights of our trip the 2nd day was going to the Rainforest Cafe. We had such a great experience at the one in SA...so we took C to this one. We had an hour wait, however, they had a River Adventure Ride!! Dustin and I took her on it and it was such a neat little ride. It was a cave with animals/scenery all throughout it. A big hit there was the chocolate volcano that had a sparkler on it. It was delish!!!

C'mon mom, I'm drinking my chocolate milk!

When I got back from the restroom, this is what I saw!

The funny thing is I don't think they even realized what they were sitting on. Gigi's looks real!

The resort was very kid friendly and had a great toddler playroom but it also had a room with arcade games and a small theater. Camdyn loved shuffle board and shooting some hoops!

We spent a ton of time at the great pools that were surrounding the resort!

and OF COURSE, relaxing...

eating some snacks...
getting some fresh air while drawing...

I hope to get the rest of our pictures up soon. Here is a beach picture to hold you over until then :) This mermaid LOVED the sand and especially the waves!!
