Moody Gardens

Moody Gardens is a really cool place in Galveston, about an hour from Houston. They have 3 giant pyramid/museums, plus a private beach/swim area, a butterfly tent, and a paddleboat. We spent a Sunday there together, then Bill, Keegan, and Kelsey went back again on Monday, primarily to swim. At Moody Gadens we learned, much to our surprise, that Kelsey was crazy about one of those movies where the seats are on a platform and move and shake during the movie. The one we rode was a log going through a sawmill, flume, river, etc. Kelse rode it over, and over, and OVER. In the past, she has been timid about those types of things, but evidently she is over that! It was pretty funny. She wore us all out with it and was still going strong. :-)

Anyway, these are pictures from Bill and the girls' second day there.

Swimming on a hot day. Every day was hot (temp high 90's, feels like 10 degrees warmer,) but it really wasn't a problem. We mostly stayed inside during the day and only stayed outside to do water things (except Kelsey at horse camp.) Late evenings cooled off to be surprisingly comfortable. Thankfully, Bill's car has a very effectve air conditioner :D, so it was all good. We still enjoyed cooling off in the water, though!
