Galveston with some Smug Mugs

Last weekend, we went on our first annual trip to Galveston with my playgroup buddies. The Mommies always seem to be ironically smug about things they don't really have their act together on, so they've been calling our crew the Smug Mugs.

Galveston was so much fun! It was the perfect weekend getaway and we had an unbelievable time. Miss Kathy interviewed us all on the last day, and here is what we said our favorite parts were:

Miss Kathy: Emilee's Tollhouse Pie
Mr. Eric: Playing in the waves with Macy and watching Macy beg to have the net put over her head... over and over and over again!
Macy: Swimming at the pool
Baby Noah: Eating sand and watching the big kids play

Miss Ella: A three-way-tie: Tollhouse pie + milk + snuggie, watching Cole and Chase feed the birds, and watching my boys play contentedly in the sand and waves
Cole: The waves on the beach
Chase: The TV

Mommy: Late night laughs with some smug mugs and knowing how happy and fulfilled my girls were while playing with their friends
Daddy: Catching hermit crabs and playing in the waves with the big kids
Avery: Making drip castles
Me: Going to the swimming pool

Miss Emilee: Making drip sand castles with the kids and the moment that Ella realized she had done the iron on transfers backwards for our shirts
Mr. Chris: Drinking homemade brew, listening to the Smug Mugs' (or is it Sgum Gums) personal assessments, and watching the cast of Jazzercise appear before my eyes.
Hannah: Swimming in the pool and making drip castles
Abigail: Playing on the beach

After the weekend of fun, we McClinton gals headed up to Lockhart to celebrate Great-Gran's 92nd birthday. Turning 92 is something special and we weren't going to miss that fun, either!

It was such a great weekend. Avery's prayer on Saturday night went like this: "Dear God, thank You for my friends and for today. And please can You make tomorrow not so busy?" Amen, Big Sister.


Love,
Kate Beach Bum McClinton
