Road Trip '09

So at the last minute, we decided that we would go to Galveston for a couple of days...So we did...with six kids..the following are pictures from our little get away...in no particular order. (mainly because when I upload this many pictures to my blog, it is too much of a hassle to make sure they are in order....yeah, that's right...sheer laziness...)..

Here are the kids heading to the beach....


Evan....who would rather be at the mall...He was sooo afraid that he was going to make his hair fade...
