Moving Day... July 21st

Today we begin our gradual journey back home...to Cali, and swimming and the jobs we have missed so much (yes Emma, that is a bit sarcastic).

We began our morning with a red ant attack (they invaded the bag of Chris and Shelly's clean clothes). There may have been an incident of "ants in the pants" but that will not be documented here in this blog...

Things we will miss continued...


Emma and Malcolm's first view every morning (Jacob usually didn't wake up until afternoon)
Jacob's famous dual shower head shower...
Malcolm's pink haven...
"Good morning parrot!"
"The big bird!!!"
"Mamma's swing looking left..."
...and right
The van, almost ready for it's next journey...

One last time into the Gulf of Mexico...
  



And then we are off again...


Montgomery, Alabama.  Where my Dad just told me he marched in the 1960's and to see the memorial to the martyrs of the Civil Right Movement.





Adding our names to the Wall of Tolerance

Last Day... July 20th

Friday is our last full day at the Beach House.  After three days of heavy rain we are ready for some beach weather.  We are lucky and get some (and some sun burns!!!). 

Even with clouds, we will go out at 9am and swim in the pool...
No crabs today...
Still looking, just to be sure...
So much rain... the pool is much higher (and cooler)

Emma gives it her "OK"!
Need to be quicker when a wide angle lens is used...
This guy has been around the block...
He wasn't too worried about us, he has obviously seen much worse...
The mockingbirds were the most fun to watch and listen to...
"...mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine..."
Dolphins made a return visit...
"You know what this beach needs?"

"I have just the thing..."
"All I need is this bucket..."
"Some advice from the dolphins..."
"And some pointers from my brothers..."
Admiring the castle and fortress...
The dream team....
Malcolm suggests a volcano

The villagers are completely ignorant of the impeding disaster...
Who invited that guy?
She owns this beach!
A motley crew...
  


"And I'm taking you with me..."
Angel or devil? You decide (I already know the answer)
"To the death!" (...didn't happen)

Things we will miss...
