Strolling Along the Beach Front ...

May 26, 2014

Flowers blooming on the beach ... 

Authorities on horseback ... patrolling the beach ...

We walked along the Galveston strip ...

and stopped in at Murdoch's ... famous gift shop ...

that was rebuilt after Hurricane Ike damaged it ...

Grandpa decided to stick his face in the hole ...

and Daigen followed him and did same thing ...

so funny ... !!!

Since it was a day for the kids to have some fun ...

Ian took us to the Rainforest Cafe ... an amazing place ...

It is set up inside like you were in a rainforest ...

with animal sounds ... and thunderstorms ....

Ian made reservations for dinner here ...

we had about 30 minutes to browse around ...

thru the gift area and displays ...

Kendall and I took the boys on a river tour thru the Tropical Rainforest ...

we climbed into a boat ... that took us downstream ...

seeing different animals along the way ...

poor little Nixon looked a little frightened with some of the animals ...

We had a wonderful dinner ... inside this forest ... 

with the animals all around us ... birds singing ... gorillas moving and grunting ...

and then the lights flashed ... sounds of a thunderstorm ... loomed ...

rain was falling in the water beside us ...

this lasted a few minutes ...

and then there was a calmness once again ...

It was a great adventure ... !!!
