For the first time in many years, Jerry and I spent Thanksgiving with the Brewer side of the family. Everyone met at at Moody Gardens and we might have had the largest table there!
They do such a nice job at that hotel, they had a pretty fall display with backdrop for guests to take a family photo. I think the backdrop might have been more effective earlier in the day, but when we took our photo after 2pm there was too much light overhead - washing out the screen. Other than that, it's a pretty good photo of all the kids in our group.
Everyone is so busy we don't get together very often and it had been a long time since we last saw Steve, Becca and the boys. I can't believe how grown up they are!
After our Thanksgiving photo, we rounded the corner and decided to take advantage of the Christmas display for another group shot. Our crew, minus Jerry and me (you've seen enough of us anyway).
On Friday morning, before the UofH game, Jerry and Bob played golf and I tagged along for part of the round. The course looked good, considering the drought.
Bob was in good form.
Jerry, as well.
On the back nine, we came across a group of Spoonbills ...
you can see the shape of his bill and the hot pink feathers ...
drying out his wings ...
A young Spoonbill out fishing - only the feathers on the underside of his body and wings have turned pink, but he'll catch up with the rest of them soon!
It was a great, long weekend and we certainly have a lot to be thankful for!
