this is for my mom...

my beauties from pepper place on saturday....
...also one of my mom's favs...so i just had to share them with her :)
...seriously, if you have never been to pepper place farmer's market on saturday mornings you must go! it is small enough that you are not overwhelmed but has an amazing variety of fruits, veggies, crafts, flowers, fresh bread, cheeses, art, etc....they have several vendors with organic goodies!

last of the beach fun...

these are the last pics from the beach....promise!...and the pic above may be my absolute favorite!! so precious :) and the pic below is pretty amazing too...
the tooth fairy was able to visit us at the beach!!! and you know what is even cooler than that?!?!....when the tooth fairy has to come to the beach she brings *sand dollars*! miss priss was quite excited...

we enjoyed our last full day at the beach with some sand time, great food & play time! we were joined by another sweet family and their three precious girls.....they kids had a blast together!
the water was quite rough but the kids LOVED playing in it and being tossed around by all the waves!....of course, big man's fair skin didn't take to all the rolling in sand & salt water too well....by that night he was covered in a bumpy rash! a few days of benadryl & cortisone cream and he was cured :)
after all the fun in the sand, water and pool the whole gang headed out for one more dinner at the back porch and then headed over to the track for a night of family fun....good times!

the go kart rides were a ton of fun for the kids and the adults!
bumper cars, bumper boats & go karts.....oh my!!
time to get wet while the girls get to drive the little go karts...
sweet little sister was so good! as long as she had her momma's phone to flip through pics she was quite content.....
last but not least....one more round on bumper boats.....thank goodness it was last because we were beyond soaked!!
the entire week was awesome!!
we had a wonderful time and already counting the days until we can go back :) both kids were crying not wanting to leave.....i quickly told them i felt the exact same way!!

even more beach fun....

tired of beach pics yet!?!....hope not :)
this particular morning the men were golfing again so we headed down to the tiki hut for some fun activities....face painting, kite flying & painting sand dollars...a great way to start the day!



we had to wait a little bit between activites so what better than kites for a windy day! though one adult and two children with kites is not a great ratio :)







next up....sand dollars!


after all the fun children's activities we ventured on to some women's activities....shopping!!....though we did come back for an afternoon swim before getting ready for our fun night out to baytown wharf...

great seafood dinner, a little dancing & a carousel ride....good times!!

the richards' boys...
my girl!!

blake & megan were having as much fun with the seafood as the kids were....

a little dancing...

to end the evening....rides on a beautiful carousel!!....big man had to sit in all the race cars and sissy picked some beautiful rides...



only one more day of beach pics....
i promise :)
