While in Galveston we went to check out the new Rainforest Pyramid at Moody Gardens. There are some nice new features like a butterfly area and monkeys roaming around.
Annette liked looking at the fish :-)
We also spent lots of time relaxing and playing on the beach. Kendall brought an arsenal of beach toys in the attempt to teach Annette how to make sand castles.
She mostly preferred to sit in the shade with her Mommy and sister :-)

Last Friday was Annette's last day of school at Memorial Drive Presbyterian Church. Here she is with some of her classmates and her 2 wonderful teachers, Ms. Sara and Ms. Mahnaz. We'll continue to see Mahnaz, since she's become our part-time afternoon nanny. Annette will be moving on to St. Martin's Episcopal Preschool next year, which is perfect since that's where we go to church.
We celebrated the end of school with a trip to Galveston. We rented a condo at the Galvestonian, which is right on the beach. Here are my 3 favorite people strolling on the sand (Kendall has Zell on his chest in the baby carrier) :-)
Annette hadn't seen the waves since last summer, and was a bit unsure of getting into the ocean. Apparently she takes after her Mommy, and will only get in up to her ankles.
Annette did enjoy some sister bonding time...
