Our Rain Day

 I heard it raining early this morning so I had time to listen to Craig Stickling give the communion exhortation. By the time I went out it was not raining. It was a good time to walk and I started by going down road side then cut over to the beach to get some pictures of the sun breaking through the clouds. 

It was also a good time to call Mark. He gave me a good update on home. Still no foal for Rosalie  (praying she does not deliver until I get home) and sent some pictures of the new ratchet system on the pickle ball nets and of Berlica using the floor scrubber on the gym. 

The rain moved in and before it did I had to take a couple pictures of the clouds moving over the condos.

The fringe on the South end was interesting.

As the weather wasn't good David and Ben took all the boys bowling. Anna took the girls shopping. Later this afternoon Diane and I went down to the pool as the sun peeked through the clouds. Tim and Jeanie joined us. Phil and Anna took all 7 of the girls on a dolphin cruise for Braelyn's 14th birthday. That was so exciting. They saw plenty of dolphins including 3 sets of moms and babies. Kensley took the picture below.

There was a pelican sitting on a pole and it looked like a statue until he turned his head to look at the camera.

Today was parrot day. Rhoda and Lee are not in Gulf Shores but are spending this week on an island. Their kids got the opportunity to hold huge macaws or as the kids say parrots.

Then Phil and Anna's family also got to hold them here in Gulf Shores.

This evening David and Stephanie took us out to eat. We were supposed to go to Lamberts home of the throwed rolls but when we got there at 4:00 pm the wait was an hour and a half. Instead we drove to Mellow Mushrooms.

 Benj and Kristin's family had picked that out of all the restaurants in this town to eat there too and at the SAME TIME!.

After supper the sun came back out so after dropping me off at Diane's condo David and Stephanie went out to the Gulf. David went swimming while Israel used his skim board. Elisabet and Stephanie just enjoyed the warm sand. We are looking forward to the sunshine predicted tomorrow but are thankful for today. This is supposed to be the only rain day of the week.
