I had the pleasure of getting a chance to meet up with my cousin Erin and her family...who actually live about 3 hours from us here in TX. I always find it amusing that Erin's married last name is Shephard (which is my maiden name), but her maiden name is Beckwith, which is my Mom's maiden name. (Erin's dad and my Mom are brother and sister). It always amused me that not only did she end up with the married name of Shephard, but that it is spelled the same as mine was. It's a unique spelling, and NOBODY ever spells it right...I'm sure she's experienced that already!
....and the last time we met up, Aidan & Braydon were just babies:
This time we got to meet up and meet each of our new additions. Mine being Mason, hers being little Bryleigh. They were actually only born a month apart. Since Erin and her husband Bryant were going to be visiting his sister in the next town over we decided to meet up at the Kemah Boardwalk for lots of fun with the kiddos.
The boys had a blast running around together in the splash fountains,
While Mason and Bryleigh got to hang out a bit on the steps.
Then we headed for Stingray Reef where the boys had a blast checking out all the stingrays and fish.
Then they got a chance to hang out in the the shark cage.......
We got some slushies (as we always do, wherever we go ;) )
Then the boys who were tall enough got to ride the airplanes (thanks again for the ticket Bryant!)
It was so amazing to get to catch up with Erin, and hopefully we can make it more frequent now that we're in TX too!!
