starting with the first official Christmas for the three Lammert kids. We had a family Christmas together with parents and AJ and UGH back in the 80's sometime, but this is the first for the future. JEff has been down for the winter before, but
Greg has only made one or two weeks trips, this makes him an official Winter Texan. We spent a day on the beach, walked across the bridge on the Queen Isabella Causeway. This time only cousin Michele, Greg and I made the walk. Our drivers were Jeff, Denny, Marian and Milo. They drove across to wave at us and then pick a stop for lunch. We finished the day on the beach and watched a young man bring in a
"Big F...ing Fish". He kept dropping one of two fishing poles and his friends kept yelling, "Pick up the pole"......it was very funny and it was a "Big F....ing Fish". Carry on
I have been that busy lately, that I could not post one photo or note in about one month. Oh well, this is not going to be much.
Merry CHRISTmas to all and to all a good night, time to hit the sack after a wonderful CHRISTmas day with Ankeny friends/family here in the RGV, Rio Grande Valley. Delicious meal of course, relaxing swim in their salt water pool and some card games, I learned fast, but didn't win, 3/13 is the game. Carry on........
Oh my, we can only download a few at a time, I'll keep at it, maybe I'll get down before the football game is over......carry on
My comp ticket courtesy of Coach Bluder had me behind the bench, but not a good spot to shoot pictures. So, I moved to the end zone, from the familiar spot I used to shoot from in Carver Hawkeye Arena. The thumbnail photos are so small, I hope I chose some good ones to post. carry on
A few shots from the Championship Game vs Arkansas State, in Corpus Christi, TX.
