This morning, after watching some of the World Cup Soccer, John and Jean decided to head out and do a little birding. Tyler decided to come with us. We went to the Univ. of Texas Marine Science Visitor's Center here on Mustang Island where they had a great boardwalk. John caught this pelican just as he was diving in for a fish.
and then just as he was taking off after his small snack.
Then we headed further down the road toward the beach and happened to be there when one of the four tall ships coming into the Corpus Christi Ship Channel to the Corpus Christi Bay for the 4th of July celebration. It was the Coast Guard USCGC Eagle. Later in the day the Cuauhtemoc tall ship from Mexico and the Esmeralda from Chile came in and tomorrow the Capitan Miranda from Uruguay. The timing has been very unpredictible because of hurricane Alex. It's still very windy and cloudy here, but supposed to clear off some tomorrow. We all know, however, that this celebration is really for Tyler's 7th birthday on July 4th :-) Fireworks tomorrow night and Sunday....sweet.
The tooth went under the pillow with a hope the tooth fairy can make it! Another great day!!!
through the mist...
and almost to us.
Later in the day John and Jean headed out to a birding spot and saw lots of birds...very cool! Then, Tyler worked his loose tooth so much today that it finally came out at dinner :-)
