Diane and I were up to see the sunrise., which was a great way to begin vacation. today was our first full day at the beach and a great day to settle in and explore.
Diane lost no time in starting to cook. Our house had some great retro appliances.
Eventually everyone started waking up.. and we crossed over the road to check out some of Billy and Shawn’s land. It goes from the road all the way to Galveston bay. It’s swampy and full of snakes.. but it has some amazing animals.. crabs. alligators and beautiful birds like roseate spoonbills and great blue herons
it’s particularly cool to see an alligator this big.. it’s probably 6 feet.
there were signs of snakes too !
THe rest of the day we ate, drank, sat around talking, cooked up the crabs we’d caught, walked on the beach… and waited for max , gabe and Sammantha who were coming in late at night. We all went to dinner at a place called Nates up the road a bit.. and took food back for max, gabe and Sam .. they got in just after 10 PM.. We got them settled then headed out to do some fireworks on the beach ! Diane started her PiCakin.. two pies and cake stacked together and iced as one.. It’s gonna be so yummy !
nice to be all together.. missing Becky who couldnt come and as always .our Sam and Dad whos spirits are with us.
nite all , nite sam
