Rain Day with Strong Wind

Today we had rain since we got up.  Late afternoon the rain stopped and the wind began and gusted at times. You can see just a bit of a trailer in the top left corner of the pic out the motor home window.  That trailer has lost his awning due to the wind gusts.  This is the first day since we left that we had a day like this.

 

Yesterday we spend the day on the beach with Ryan and family at his condo.  Below is lovely Livie.

A pic of the view of the gulf from our chairs under the umbrella.



 

The following 3 photos are in sepia because Olivia was playing with my camera and changed the setting, I didn't notice when I was taking pictures.  I couldn't tell with the glare of the sun.

 

Carl, Ryan, and the kids

 

 

 Does anyone know who this guy is?  I know it is hard to recognize in this photo.  I didn't want to go right up to him and take his picture.

That is Gary Hoogeboom.  He played NFL football as a quarterback. He also was on the TV show the "Survivor."  Carl recognized him.  He was in the condo where Ryan is with his family from Grand Haven.  Later Ryan was in the hot tub with him, but no one went up to him and talked with him. Those guys are real chickens.

 

For Cameron, a guy was kayaking out in the gulf.

Our microwave went out last week.  We went into Home Depot and Carl installed a new one.

 

Tonight we are going to babysit Olivia and Owen.  They are going to stay overnight with us so their folks and meet up with all the other couples they know down for an adult evening at the FloraBama Bar.

Some big news down here today. The Carnival Triumph ship that is down here in Mobil Bay for repairs broke loose with the high winds and made its way across the river and hit another ship for more damage.  A guard shack that had 2 men in it blew into the river and only one has been found so far.
