Boys and their crawfish

Nick provided our entertainment while eating lunch at a seafood restaraunt in Galveston with a boiled crawfish. He has no fear and even likes to eat them. Matt, on the other hand, wants nothing to do with them. Nick took advantage of this fact and tried bothering Matt with a large crawdad.

Sandcastles

We went to the annual sandcastle building contest on East Beach in Galveston this past weekend. It was HOT and the traffic was horrible, but it was worth seeing. Here are a few of the better ones:

End of school

Allen finished 8th grade with huge achievements. He was given an award for Science and the "Elite" male 8th grader.
Nick's class had a little preschool graduation ceremony.

Pearland Junior High East Band

Allen plays percussion in Pearland Junior High East Band. The first video was from the Spring concert. Quality is poor because we were trying to see him on the drum set, but he was tucked away in the back.
