A couple Days on the Gulf Coast

While Andy handled client matters on the coast, the children and I went exploring. I didn't mind the boys splashing around in their boots at the end of the day...



...because the morning started off like this...


and then the sky immediately grew dark.

Obviously, we were soaked way before we ever made it back to the car. So we went indoors to the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center. http://www.lmdc.org/



The boys practiced crab fishing,





running a grocery business,

loading the docks,


figuring out a wheelchair,


and serving in the dining car of a train.
It's a good thing they practiced working so hard, because the next day I took the children out to Ship Island.
The Captain of our boat put them right to work.



After playing in the sand and water, my little guys were so tired. We made the trek across the island back to the boat with the kind help of some fellow travelers. Sheila and Jim from Alabama- I thank the Lord for you!
