Nice Pets

This guy (ex-pirate) had birds that he would put on your head, shoulder, hat, etc. Austin loved to look at the birds, but he was not keen on actually having them near his body. This was the closest he got...

The Sea Slug that Didn't Get Away

This was the second sea slug that Joanie and I caught. The first one was during Austin's nap time, and we had some little kids take him out past the first sandbar so that he wouldn't wash ashore. This one was munching on the goodies embedded in seaweed, and I wanted Austin to see him. I grabbed one of his "bathtubs" (his word not mine) and captured this little guy. After Austin fed him some fresh, shrimp-filled seaweed, we let him go--unharmed.

Cute Turtles

Annual Picture...

We have this same picture taken when Austin was 8 weeks old and one year old. Joanie is always the one to hold him. This year they moved the plywood cutout, and there was a moment of panic. We found it eventually!

Dolphin Ride

Pirate's Landing

Pushing Down the Wall

This was a game that Austin played all week. He and PaPa would try to push down this wall.

Here's the Church...

He loves this!

At the Gladys Porter Zoo

It was HOT...but we managed to see most of the zoo. Austin liked this zoo because of the peacocks running around the grounds like wild chickens.
