Galveston

It’s been a beauty of a week here, weather wise….only in the mid 80’s. Today was no exception so we went off on another excursion to the Gulf coast town/island of Quintana whose history dates back to 1528. There isn’t much left to see of its history because of hurricanes and yellow fever wiping everyone and everything out, but it was fun nonetheless. We took our bikes with us and were able to ride on the beach, had some lunch and even chased down an ice cream man for some frozen goodies.

The photo of Kevin and Aanika was taken on our beach trip today….we thought it was funny because it mentioned Kalamazoo. After our ride, we parked our bikes and played in the waves – the water was 84 degrees! It’s amazing what’s within an hour’s drive of here!

Earlier in the week, Kevin was trying to show Aanika how to do a headstand but inadvertently taught her how to do a forward roll. Now she does it every chance she can! Of course she’s still obsessed with the car and I’ve managed to rig up a way to take her ‘driving’ through the neighborhood….she took her buddy Pandy with us the other day. Her other love in the household is Girlcat. Mind you, she’s 14 years old and had the run of the house her entire life and now there’s this little creature that is intent on giving her hugs!
