Beach Trip Round 2

The weather wasn't as nice this Saturday as last weekend, but we just couldn't pass up a free afternoon to head to the beach and let the dogs play (and us too!).  We stayed a bit farther to the east this time, and the seaweed was better.  We also went later in the afternoon so the tide was out, giving us more space to splash and run in the water. 

Once again, Bailey was a blonde ball of energy, running like mad and splashing up to his belly in the Gulf.  There were fewer people out this trip, so the birds were on the shore, and Bailey gave them a grand run for their money.  Oh, we laughed!

Run, Puppy, Run!
Aggie Belle could reach the water this time, but she was rather unsure of it.  Watching Big Brother run and play gave her some encouragement, and Daddy stood ankle deep with treats to show her that the water wasn't so bad.
Bailey led the way for Aggie Belle.
Treats make the water better.
Seaweed makes a good place to rest and chew sticks!

We didn't walk 5 miles this trip, but we ran and played in the same space for just as long since we had water access.  I love these free trips to the beach.  I love our family bonding time with lots of laughter and cuddles and kisses. 

Of course, a stop for ice cream was made on the way home.  Both dogs slept most of the way home curled up in their beach towels after rinsing in the beach showers...the bottom of the bathtub was a sandy mess after their post-beach bath, but totally worth the cleaning effort!  :)  We may not make it back to Galveston for a few weeks with all the wedding festivities around the corner, but I can't wait until we do make it!
Happy babies!
