David always had fun at the beach.....
Our son and his family rented a house in Port Aransas this week. They ask if we'd like to join them. Hmmmm, we wanted to join them, but our south Texas weather has been unbelievably hot, with triple digit temperatures, and the horrible drought conditions are so depressing............. so, driving to the beach has not been a top priority on our list of things to do this year.
However, when ask if we could at least come for one night and bring one of our grandson's home with us, for play practice in a local play........ we of course said, "yes".....
We were going to leave today, but our daughter in law called yesterday morning to say that our grandson would not need to come home early after all. Oh my, we can stay home in our air conditioned house. However, ...... I had mixed emotions ...
Each summer our family has traveled to the gulf coast for a family vacation, but as our family grows, finding a time to vacation together becomes more and more difficult.
Our daughter's family is adopting child # 6 sometimes this summer, so we knew that a family vacation to the beach would be out of the question this particular year.

So here I am ......reminiscing with pictures, on a few vacations past.....
This little guy is no longer a little guy, he's almost as tall as his dad, and 16 years old.....
Here's our Houston family with five children, now they have 2 more, with 1 more coming soon.
Our two children........aren't they cute~.....
Our son with 2 boys, now he has 3...
Our first grandchild, and now she's 20........
Our first four grandchildren, and now there are 10 grandchildren....going on 11.

And I say, "thank you God for pictures, good memories, and most of all......that David is doing good."
