Bay for the 4th

Surely if you have been reading the ole blog for awhile you know who I am talking about when I mention Uncle Gary, Aunt Denese, Drew and Todd.  Drew was the one who got married in Bastrop in March. 

*Backstory- My mom and Aunt Denese have been friends since high school and although they are not technically family they are the closest thing we have to cousins on my moms side.  We have spent every Christmas Eve, birthday, summer vacation and 4th of July with them for as long as I can remember.

When Ike came he washed away the house Uncle Gary’s company had down in San Leon (close to Kemah.)  Since Ike they have rebuilt both the company house and a new bay house!  So on Sunday my mom, dad, and sister (and Brooks!) ventured down to see the new bay house.

We had so much fun seeing everyone, eating some very delicious food, and being on the water.  We can’t wait to go back!

We found a picture from several 4th of July’s ago where the 5 of us kids sat with Linda and Claude and the ice cream maker.  We think I was about 5 in the picture which would make Drew and Laura 2 and Todd 1.  We re-created the picture this weekend and plan the frame the two pictures together.  That was over 20 years ago!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
