Yes, that's a toy cell phone at Maya's ear...
when it was her turn to bat, she kept the phone
to her ear. I guess she's not going to let baseball
stop her from socializing on the phone...oh, my...
Jake noticed it right away!

Beach Trip - July 2007

Every summer, Amy's mom and her sister, Oleta, rent a beach cabin at Crystal beach. This tradition has been going on for over 30 years! Our family has grown a little over the past 30 years, so this year there were 18 of us! Our trip included a day at Schilterbahn Galvaston, and of course, a stop by the Candy Shop for a yummy malt!
