Family Arrives & Thomas & Haley go to the Beach

Friday
May 22, 2009

Well same kind of morning get up and go to work. I left Thomas & Haley sleeping. I called Gina and she was bathing Angel & Zoey before they got on the road to head south. I spoke to Thomas around ten o’clock and they were just waking up. They were going to go something to eat for breakfast and then drive to Port Aransas and spend the day on the beach. Here are a few pictures of Thomas & Haley on the beach.

I don’t know what happened but it took an hour and a half for Parker, Ashley, Gina and Shane to get through Baton Rouge which put them getting to Lafayette around 5:15. They were meeting Nicole in Lafayette since she worked the day. Well they didn’t get on the road heading toward South Texas until 5:30. This was going to put them arriving late. But they seemed like they were having a good drive. Here are a few pictures of their drive down.

Hey you're Driving Turn Around

Are We There Yet??


Aren't they so cute??

I got home around five o’clock and Thomas was cooking. We had fried pork tenderloin and mashed potatoes for dinner. After dinner he & Haley went to Wal-mart to pick up some items that Gina wanted and I moved the truck to a site directly behind our home so I could connect the electrical up and turn on the AC so the truck would be cool for when they all arrived. I was going to stay up until they arrived but decided against it since they wouldn’t be getting in until one o’clock in the morning. I had a few items to do at work Saturday morning and I figured with them getting in so late that they would sleep in anyway so I went to bed. Sure enough they arrived at one and they tried to wake me up but I wasn’t getting up. Anyway I guess they all got settled in since Gina said she took some pictures of them in the truck so here they are.

I’m not sure what is planned for Saturday but stay tuned it should be exciting with all eight of us here. I’m sure crabbing will be in the agenda somewhere.

Until tomorrow, Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
