Vacation Further South

Mark had a couple of days of vacation left, so we headed camping to the beach near Corpus Christi for a few days.

The water was actually quite cold (probably like California water in the summer)

Some nice looking birds. I don't remember what they are.

Mark caught a few waves.
Chillin' on the beach.


We spent a day at the Texas State Aquarium.

Witnie loved the petting pools (as long as she didn't have to actually pet anything)

Maddie by a nurse shark.

Witnie and a big, ugly fish.
Sydnie got called up on stage during this program. They got her all dressed up in protective gear and teased her about holding a crazy animal. Then she got to help feed this anteater.


We got to watch a diver feed the fish in this tank.


The otters were Maddie's favorite.

The stingray petting pools.


These pictures are from a wildlife refuge that has endangered whooping cranes:
That day was pretty chilly due to the wind.

We found some of Tarzan's children.

I'm not sure I would put my hand in the water either. She must not be too shy if she went up on the stage. Is the aquarium located in Houston? Mom and I need to hop in the car and come visit sometime.
