Our Anniversary Celebration

Last year on our anniversary, we had a tiny little one month old, so we decided that instead of our typical anniversary evening out alone, we would celebrate with the kids. We enjoyed it so much last year that we decided to do it again this year. So, after swim lessons this afternoon, the five of us headed out to one of our favorite spots, the Kemah Boardwalk, for an afternoon/evening of anniversary fun!



We ate outside by the water at our usual spot, Landry's Seafood. Shrimp all around. There were boats and lots of pelicans and seagulls to watch. And an occasional fish hopping out of the water.

Then we went to ride several of our favorite pricey, but fun Kemah Boardwalk rides. Nicole chose the carousel and Jacob chose the submarine.




Then we walked the boardwalk, looked at fish, fed some ducks, played on the playset (the kids), watched a juggler with fire, went to look at the aquariums in the Aquarium Restaurant (no second dinner) and then got large snow cones to finish off the evening.

We really enjoyed our time as a family. Not that Brian and I don't enjoy nights out alone, but in a way it seems that a celebration of the birthday of our family, should in some way be celebrated as a family. They are our treasures and the products of our love for one another. This year we will also have a night out for ourselves, but we couldn't keep it all to ourselves. :)
