Headed to Galveston the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend for a couple of days. We got a house just a few steps from the beach. Ten minutes from Pleasure Pier, 30 minutes from Kemah....I think. Four adults 4 kids... age 12-6. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Book a guide and do some fishing. All in should run you around $600-650 per boat for bay fishing up to 3 people. That would include the price of the boat, bait and gratuity.
If you need suggestions on guides, that would be very easy to come by from this group. I have multiple myself that I've fished with more than once and would recommend.

Head to Galveston early. Memorial Day weekend has some of the worst traffic I've ever seen of people trying to get on that Island. Literally, I-45 can be backed up for several miles. There's also a lot of construction in the League City/Dickenson area that will make things worse. Galveston is just crowded these days in general. It's not much of a surprise considering 6 million people live within 60 miles of there.
As for the Kemah Boardwalk. Probably best to just avoid it if you are only going for a couple days. The amount of traffic around there is horrible as well. With that said, if you choose to go, look at a map heading from Galveston. You can take 146 and sort of sneak in a back way.
Personally, if I were going to Galveston on Memorial Day weekend, I'd head to the West end and just stay there. I'd avoid the seawall and 61st Street entirely.
