OK, so these are from just after Christmas and not this week, but it was cold then and even colder now! But since I haven’t had the camera handy, these will stand in for how pitifully we deal with “winter” here…
Our friends recently got a place down near Galveston, on the Bolivar Peninsula. This area was decimated two years ago when Hurricane Ike blew through, and new places are finally starting to be built where the old ones were quite literally washed away. Anyhow, they’ve invited us down to hang out with them over the holidays and it’s been a great mini-escape for all of us!
It’s much more of a fisherman’s beach than a tourist one, which suits everyone just fine. This time when we went down to visit it was another “quick change” weather series where one day it was balmy, and the next, bitter. Everyone decided to brave the gusts and go looking for shells anyway.
“Uh, Mom? I can’t feel my face anymore. Am I still smiling?”
Poor Josie’s hat kept swiveling around and falling down over her eyes. She managed to have fun toddling around in the sand anyway!
