Pirate's Beachhouse - September 11th, 2012



The sun peaks above the horizon on a beautiful morning

The glorious splendor of the sun rising above the waves

Holly & Andy are camping out on the left side balcony

Alex entertains Ahma after breakfast

Beach Egret taunts dad to come out fishing

So dad goes out and tries his luck

Bait the hook in the light surf

Hey, where did my egret go?

I bet he left because there was no fish

Bill drives a ball at Galveston Moody Golf Course

Hazards are pretty tough on the former Galveston Muny

David tries landing his ball on the fairway after only five holes into the round

Bill lines up for a over shot onto a par 3 hole

David shows good form despite his standard sandals

Andy puts his ball on the green

Aircraft guidance equipment along Scholes Field

Not a real good time to start slicing!

Check out Moody Gardens Pyramids with the 300mm zoom

Line up all three Moody Gardens pyramids:   Discovery, Rainforest, and Aquarium

Schlitterbahn lies beyond the airfield control tower

Line up a clearer shot on the Schlitterbahn water slides

Check out the lifting railroad bridge beyond the causeway

Houses line up a canal with the causeway and railroad bridge in the background

Bill adds a little too much softball swing on this shot

Andy looks for lost balls while waiting for a clear green

Bill lines up for the final hole, #9 overwater par 3

Andy pushes his shot left, David blows his chance for par

Alex models her wetsuit down by the sand castle

She just might have future opportunities modeling clothes!

Seagulls come and inspect the sand castle

It is a good time to have an umbrella and a hat!

The skies become overcast as dinner approaches

David, Bill and Margo relax inside

Andy, Holly and Bill take photos from the balcony

We watch and see if Dad, Kathy, and Erin find treasure

What is this?   I think I may have found something

Not only no, but we can't find stuff we buried ourselves

I found a noodle on the golf course & in the kitchen sink

Nena makes spagetti with delicious sauce w/meatballs

Allan, Erin and Alex dig in;   Donna & Nena get in line

Rhonda offers ice but Erin & Alex too busy eating to drink

Margo loves these big family dinner gatherings

And we have a full house enjoying the spagetti

One more photo before I finally enjoy my dinner
