Kemah

One of the perks of living in Houston is that we do have a coastline. Although it is not the most picturesque, it is nice to see the water and appreciate how fantastic our world is. Living along the coast has some drawbacks, too. One of those major drawbacks would definitely be hurricane season. We have a great little boardwalk area that has a some rides and restaurants that we have gone to several times. When Ike hit the Houston coast, Kemah was destroyed.

The boardwalk was closed for a long while so that it could be rebuilt. Going back was something that we had been discussing but just hadn't gotten around to doing - until a few weeks ago. Lauryn and I went with some friends and really enjoyed ourselves.

Poor Lauryn got sick following a bad combo of lunch and the big swings that go around in the air, but that did not stop her. We cleaned her up and took a trip to the fountains outside. There is something about playing in water that makes kids happy!
