Summer by the Sea

The second week of June my mom's family rented a beach house on Galveston Island. While Joe could only spend the weekend, I was able to stay for the week. My cousin and I share a birthday so we celebrated, swam, ate yummy seafood, fed the seagulls and enjoyed some much needed fellowship. You know the old saying "It takes a village to raise a child"? Well... they are my village. Of course I'm no longer a child, a new generation has entered our family, and my cousins and I have suddenly become our parents. At lease metaphorically. 

Anywho- it was a sweet time, and I sure do miss them!
