June 14, 2015 DAY EIGHT:
My mom woke us up this morning to get packed and ready to leave. We all made our beds, got dressed, packed our stuff, did walk through's, and left.We were all on the road by 9:30. I went with my dad. Patrick went with my mom, Hayley, and the D's. Our car was a lot quieter than the other car. We made two stops on the way home. My mom's car made three or four stops. We got home almost an hour before they did.
When we got home my dad and I unloaded the car and then went and got Roxie and Yum Yum. After I unpacked all of my stuff I took Yum Yum for a walk. Then I made macaroni and watched T.V. Today was full of driving and resting. We all had lots of fun, but we are glad to be home I am really happy the our family got to spend a week together in Galveston. Thank you Grammie and Grampy for planing this trip, and thank you to all of the adults who helped with it, too.

Galveston Vacation Part Seven
June 13, 2015 DAY SEVEN:
Today, after I woke up, Heather woke up Patrick so we could go souvenir shopping. We were there for a while. Patrick got a red Frisbee. I got a necklace that has a sea turtle with a purple flower as its shell. I also got a small heart-shaped bottle with sand and seashells in it. It is my Galveston in a bottle. After we finished getting souvenirs we went to The Spot. Patrick and I got burgers and the adults got shrimp. After we got home my parents and Hayley took us to the beach. The waves were really big, but they were fun to play in. We would grab floaties and when a really big wave came we would jump up and ride the wave as far as we could. After we got home I took a bath. That was a total waste because right after we went on the big floaty thing that attached to the boat. It was really fun. Noah and Dalton only went on with us when we were in the canal. Patrick, Dyson, and all went out into the bay. It was really fun going fast. None of us fell off. When we got back to the canal we jumped off of the floaty in the middle of the canal and swam back the rest of they way. After we swam back we swam for a while.
When we finished swimming we went inside and just hung out at the house. Noah played with Dyson and I again. We were playing games on my kindle. We played games and watched T.V. for a long time. Dinner was ready so we went down and had burgers. After eating Dyson and I went upstairs to play a little more. I got bored upstairs and went down to fish. I didn't catch anything, but lots of fish stole my bait. We had a fun day. Everyone is tired. This was our last full day here, and we had a great vacation. I am so glad we decided to come to the beach house.

Galveston Vacation Part Six
June 12, 2015 DAY SIX:
This morning I woke up because I didn't feel good last night and I was coughing a lot. When I got up and had a bowl of cereal. It was a slow day mostly. We ate and then we watched T.V. and hung around for a while. Grammie needed to go to Academy so Heather, Grammie, my mom, and I used this as an escape from all of the boys. We spent a while looking at swimsuits at Academy. I got a two-piece swim suit that was blue with palm trees. It was a t-shirt and shorts type of swim suit. After we finished at Academy, we ordered pizza to take home for lunch. The pizza wouldn't be ready to pick up for another thirty minutes so we went to Walmart to get groceries that we needed. Walmart was definitely not as crazy as it was the other day, but it was still crazy. We piked up the pizza and went home. The pizza smelled and tasted so good!
My mom and dad left in search of shrimp to cook for dinner. All of the kids except Patrick were in the bedroom. Noah took almost a two hour break from everything to play with Dyson and me. Noah is really fun! He messed around with us and tried to get into the chair that I was sitting in. If I went downstairs he would sit in the chair,and I would have to try to get him out of it. We were playing and watching T.V. for a few hours. Dyson and Dalton left for a boat ride and I just watched Phineas and Ferb for a while.
Later, my mom and dad were cooking and Grampy and I were fishing I caught two fish and three fish stole my bait. I had a lot of fun fishing with Grampy. When it was time for us to go up and eat we had to put up our fishing pole to go upstairs. I ate leftover pizza for dinner instead of shrimp because I don't like seafood. Yet another great day has passed and we are all looking forward to the next.

Galveston Vacation Part Five
June 11th, 2015 DAY FIVE:
This morning I woke up because Dyson turned off a fan. Noah was using that fan because it was really hot in the room. Dyson was watching T.V. and couldn't hear because the fan was too loud. When he turned it off I noticed the difference and started to wake up. Then Noah woke up and told Dyson to turn it back on. That caught me by surprise and woke me up. I got up and went down stairs. Right as I got down stairs they were serving breakfast. Breakfast was really good. Grammie made eggs, biscuits, and ham. Grampy asked us if we wanted to go in the boat again today. Dalton said no because he wanted to go on the little boat. None of us knew what he was talking about. We finally figured out that he meant the kayak. I said pick me! I want to go on the boat! Then Grampy asked if I wanted to drive the boat. I said Yes!I asked Dalton if he wanted to drive the boat he said he would drive the kayak.
At about ten o'clock, Hayley and Kevin took Dyson, Dalton, Patrick, and I to the beach. We were there until one. We brought boogie boards and floaties. The waves were pretty big so it was really fun to sit on our floaties and let the waves push us away. There were lots of times when the waves knocked us over. At one point we all got out at the same time. That was lucky because the ice cream truck was there. Dalton had a fit the other day because we didn't catch the ice cream truck in time. Everyone enjoyed their ice cream. Dalton got a Spider-Man Popsicle, Dyson and I both got snow cones, Patrick got a cookies n'cream ice ream cone, and Hayley got a chocolate ice cream cone.
We went back to the beach house for a break. My mom and dad left to go to lunch and the store and the Horn's went to the souvenir shop. They were all gone for an hour. I watched T.V. and played in my phone but I soon got bored.
Everyone got home and we ate tacos and queso for dinner. After dinner we went fishing. the boys went to the beach to look for squid but I was catching shrimp for bait. When we got enough bait I started fishing. After a while I felt something heavy on my line. I started to reel in my line. All of a sudden there was a big wire floating above the water and the light in the water had moved ten feet from its original spot. The good news is that this is probably not the first time that this has happened because in the book that has information on the house it tells you what to do in case you catch the wire. Well, I had a good laugh for the day! Another great day has passed and we are all tired but looking forward to another fun-filled day

Galveston Vacation Part Four
June 10th, 2015 DAY FOUR:
I woke up to the smell of french toast and bacon, and we had a really good breakfast. After everyone ate, all of the kids were itching to go and swim in the ocean. Grampy got a really big floaty for the boat. We were able to use it while we were swimming. We finally got to swim and we were in there for a few hours. Around two o'clock, we had to get out and take a break. We all watched T.V. and read for a while. Everyone was quiet, but no one fell asleep.
After our break, we went out on the boat with Grampy. Patrick and I loved it when we went really fast, but Dyson and Dalton preferred it when we went slower. At one point my mom was talking to Grampy about one of the beach houses that we almost rented. Dalton interrupted and said, "Less talking, more driving!" Looks like he takes after his mom. Dalton loves to play captain.
The Phineas and Ferb marathon was on for a while so we all watched it. After taking a long break we went out swimming again. We swam for about an hour then we went in to eat. My dad made steak. He makes the best steak ever. We ate stake, Fruit salad, and potatoes. We didn't do as much today as we did yesterday. It was more of a calm day.
After sun-down we went fishing. None of us caught anything. Dalton caught some shrimp. Once he caught a really tiny shrimp and Heather said that it was a baby shrimp and that he had to throw it back to its mom. Dalton said, "That's OK... we are going to catch its mom anyway." I wonder who teaches him to have little sympathy. *COUGH COUGH* Hayley *COUGH COUGH* Tomorrow will be another great day.

Galveston Vacation Part Three
June 9th, 2105 DAY THREE:
Today I woke up to a quiet house and thought no one was in the house. I went downstairs and almost everyone was awake. Dalton was very excited to look in the crab traps. Heather did all she could to stall him while we waited for everyone to really wake up. As soon as everyone was moving around they checked the crab traps. Dalton was a little disappointed that it was only the same two crabs from yesterday, but he was glad to help let them loose.
About an hour later, my mom, Hayley, Grammie, Patrick, Dalton, Dyson, and I went out to drive around for a little while and got to the store. Our main reason to go out was to stay out of Grampy's way while he worked on the boat. We drove out to the ferries and waited in line to get on one. We were lucky and got the Aggie one. After the boat left we got out of the car and went to the rails to watch the seagulls, pelicans, and dolphins. It was really funny to watch the dolphins racing the boat. I wanted to take a picture but all I could think about was me dropping my phone into the ocean. I didn't take any pictures. After the ferry landed we got off and turned around to get on another one to go back to the mainland. We had to wait for almost an hour to get back onto a ferry. The trip back seemed a lot longer. Dalton was complaining that he was hungry and thirsty. I said he should of thought about that when he and Patrick ate all of the granola bars. We finally got off of the boat and went to Wendy's for lunch.
After we ate, we went to Randal's to get shopping done. It was calm and uncrowded, unlike Walmart. It was easy to find things, but we had so much stuff to get. Not to mention, nothing was near another thing at all. After spending an hour at the store, we went back to the beach house. We played with the chalk and went in the kayak. A long time passed and I got bored. Patrick and Dalton were in the kayak and I couldn't use it. Dyson was using the chalk but I didn't want to play with it. I asked my mom what I could do she suggested a lot of things. I was about to go upstairs when she said that I could use an inner tube and swim in the ocean. I immediate got the tube and got into the water. Pretty soon Dyson and Patrick were in the water, too. After I fell off of the inner tube, I started swimming. Patrick and Dyson did the same.
We started jumping off of the dock and Dalton joined us. We were all playing for a few hours. It was really fun. We had to get out, take showers, and eat. We will probably do this tomorrow. Everyone is really tired from our exciting day. Dyson and Dalton are already asleep, and my eyes are closing as I type. Tomorrow will be a great day. The boat is fixed and we can swim in the ocean. Lots to look forward to.

Galveston Vacation Part Two
June 8th, 2015 DAY TWO:
Today I woke up to the smell of bacon. After a long day yesterday, I had a great sleep. After we ate a delicious breakfast of bacon, eggs, and biscuits, we went outside to play with bubbles and chalk. We had to use the chalk to make a divining line between Hammock City and our play area because Dalton got bubbles all over my mom's pillow. Hammock city is made up of eight hammocks. Dalton and Dyson were playing a game with the bubbles that was about poison bubbles were attacking a city and they took turns being the villain and the superhero. I made a mural of the beach at sunset. The chalk is really easy to use t make pictures like that with. I was working on it when Hayley, Heather, and Grampy took Dalton to the store to get supplies to fix the boat. This way Dalton was out of the way and Dyson was fishing with Patrick. IT took me almost and hour to finish it, but it looked great!
My mom and I went to Walmart and Academy after everybody got back. My mom got a pair of sandals at Academy and then we went to Walmart. Walmart was INSANE! It was really crowed. I thought the Walmart in Plano was bad, but that was before I went to the one in Galveston. All I wanted to do was get out of there. My mom and I both got a pair of cheap flip flops for the rest of the trip.
When we got home, Dyson, Patrick, and Dalton were using the kayak and going to the beach that was next to the ramp where you put boats in the water. They were "kidnapping" hermit crabs and bringing them back to our beach house. We all took turns riding in the kayak. Dalton and I went together to the beach and brought back empty shells. Patrick and I went, too. We mainly just rowed around for a while. Noah and I played ping pong for a while he beat me, but only by two points. He beat Patrick only by one point.
After fishing and kayaking dinner was almost ready. We all went in after Grampy and Dalton started stringing a little fishing pole for Dalton to use tomorrow. We had meatloaf and potatoes for dinner and we worked on a puzzle of the ocean. I am now in bed typing and looking forward to tomorrow.
