Day at the Bay

Some of Ray's coworkers threw a get together last Saturday at the Bay park next to the Air Force Bay. The kids immediately went to dig in the dirt although it was packed down by the storm surge from Hurrican Ike.

There favorite was playing on the playground equipment. She was very brave and crossed this little crossbar walk several times to get to the big slide all by herself.

T surprised us all and went down the big slide all by himself a bunch of times. He had never been down a slide before and went for it and then he was hooked. She wouldn't go down by herself until after she turned 3.

Down at the beach part of the Bay She practiced making letters in the sand. That is her new thing although she doesn't know all her letters yet but she draws E, H I, O, & T pretty good all on her own. She can copy almost any letter.

I took this picture since it shows most of the damage from the storm surge. The tree to the right is pretty much just being held there suspended in air by it's roots because the sand is all washed out from underneath it. To the left barely in the picture is one of the picnic gazebos that also had a bunch of sand washed out from underneath it and the foundation is cracking and eventually it will split and break off. They have put caution tape around it so that no one uses it.
