Welcome to the Rio Grande Valley.
South Padre Island Kite Show
A day trip to Boca Chica
We took our lunch,
flew kites,
hunted shell,
walked on the beach,
took in some sun,
talked and talked, as good friends should.
Welcome
to our camp ground,with Palm tree lined streets.
The trees, shrubs and flowers
are beginning to bloom.
Enjoy.

Love these Sky flowers.
We have some green parrots that like to roost in this park. However, they do not cooperate for picture taking.
The ever present Sudoku puzzle books that we are continually working at overcoming the challenges.
Elsie made a Key Lime pie for our meal on Thursday eve. Yummy!
The ever present internet.
On Friday we went bike riding at Bentsen State Park.
I spent some time in the bird blind and got pictures of some of the
local birds.
The Green Jay lives in Texas,
year round.
The hooded Oriole is just as brilliant in real life as the picture.
