The kids got to see a live blue crab like the ones I used to catch as a little girl.
This crab got buy phone and actually broke the protector. I wanted the kids to see how they grab things and it wouldn't let go. Every time I look at the crack on my phone I just smile inside. Brings back great childhood memories. Crabbing was one of my top 5 things to do as a child!
Kinley wasn't so sure about the fish and crabs.
One of the fishnen let us get on their boat to see what they look like up close and explained how they work. Very cool!
Turns out they had caught a hard head on the end of this string. The kids were completely fascinated!
They each took a turn pulling the fish out of water and feeling him swim away.
Our four beautiful kids!
The Pelicans were everywhere. It was so cool to watch them make a big splash as they would dive down to get their food. These three looked like they just wanted their picture taken sitting there in a row like that.
Ocean oil rig platforms docked. We went on one last year and the kids thought it was the coolest thing. It is so amazing how they can just plant the legs down in the ground and start digging for oil.

Grandma and the kids made up their own version of chess while Dad and I tried to figure out how to use the new parking system down there.
Love this picture of Alton. Can't believe he is going to be 6 yo in a month!
Eating awesome old fashioned I e cream. There were some REALLY old parlor artifacts in this store. Neat to see!
And yummy to taste!
It was so cold inside, so we all went outside to warm up. 
While we were there there was a diabetic emergency and a fire truck and an ambulance were called over. After they took care of their patient they invited the kids into the fire truck. The kids were SO excited!
What a fun surprise for them.
Kinley wasn't so sure about the whole thing.
The girls got side tracked Shule on the way to the restroom.

After our fun time on the Strand, we headed over to ride the ferry to the Bolivar peninsula. It was finally time to head over to Granny Mullin's house in Beaumont (their great grandma).
The boys thought it was cool to watch the ferry pull away.
They wanted to go into these war ships so bad. It was way too hot to go in them (there is a battleship on the left and a black submarine on the right).
Silly pictures with Granny. She just turned 94 yo in May! She looks amazing!!!!
It was virtually impossible to get a picture with them all looking and somewhat normal, but at least their true colors are shining through.
