Having A Wonderful Vacation!

We're at the Texas Coast with the whole family (16 people and 3 dogs) and having a blast. We've been to the beach, we rode the ferry, we've shopped, we've fished off the pier, and the guys went out on a fishing boat Tuesday and will go again tomorrow.

We've been exploring the area, found an ancient cemetery, the Stella Maris chapel and the Schoenstatt convent. They have the most beautiful little chapel on the grounds. A precious little old nun rode her scooter from the residence over to the gift shop so that we could do some shopping. She was a delight! Oh, and we also visited the "Big Tree," a live oak more than 1,000 years old.

We're staying at a real family friendly place. There's a long pier to fish from, and the guys have been crabbing every night. There's doughnuts and coffee in the office every morning, and WiFi. I'm sitting on a lounge chair at the pool, keeping an eye on Lyssa and Lily as they swim. Oh, and here comes Reece with his mommy.

We're all going out for seafood tonight.

It's a bit chilly today, but the sea is calm and the sky is so blue and beautiful. We were stunned by the beauty of the spring wildflowers as we drove down on Saturday. We're all enjoying the different kinds of seabirds here. God has made such a beautiful world for us to enjoy.
