Bermuda, Bahama, Come on Pretty Mama...Key Largo, Montego, Baby Why don't we go to Galveston???

...because Galveston is only 5 hours away!

That's right...we've just come home from the 3rd annual Morton Family (Granna, Da, Gran, Papa, Zac, Whitney, Micah, Emmie, Ben, Amanda and Matthew) Beach Vacation. They seem to get better every year. Matthew actually got in the water this year (though not very far in and not very often). He loved running up and down the beach, playing in the sand and crashing any sandcastle that came close to completion.

It would take about a week to describe the whole trip, so instead, here are some highlights from the week. Enjoy!

"My future's so bright..."

The boys beg from Da, the seagulls beg from the boys...it's a vicious circle.

What beach vacation would be complete w/ out flying a kite?

The Master At Work, building the greatest civilization the world has ever known!!!

One pose with the completed work!

Team Tiny Tornado: A city destroyed, the moat flooded, a job well done.

Before you ask, yes, that is our Matthew. Covered in dirt and SMILING!!!

They grow up so fast!!!

After almost a week of settling for the entire ocean, Matthew decided he's rather just have a bucket full of water. Seriously, most popular toy all week. Bucket of water...Jenn, Jay, Brian , Liz...watch and learn! Don't be swindled by the toy conglomerates, don't waste your money on buckets and shovels for the beach. Just mosey on down to you neighboorhood Home Depot and pick up a big orange bucket!

"Do you know where the weightroom is?"

I'm so proud!!!

But sadly...all good things must come to an end...so I give you......

Matthew,
What a wonderful family vacation you had. Mommy and Daddy did a fantastic job with pictures and documenting all that you did. You are quite a young man and so handsome too. I could not believe that you actually got DIRTY, it was wonderful to see. Of course, your PawPaw was one for clean hands always.
I am really looking forward to seeing you at Nana's during the Christmas Holidays. Sending you much love and hugs from Virginia. MeMaw loves and misses you so so much. Counting the days until I can get a big hug in person!
