Pictures of our trip to the Southern States

This is our campsite at Falcon State Park.
We toured the LBJ Ranch State Park where there was a White House. He was the first president who had his own White House at his home.
He had a runway built for this jet to transport him and his staff to his ranch from the airport in Austin where Air Force One would land.
The National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Camped on the jetty at Port Aransas, Texas.
The Battleship Alabama which Bert toured as well as a submarine there.
In Mobile, Alabama they have a Mardi Gras and the beads remain in trees, fences, on the lawns etc.
When we got home Bert opened up the beehive on our porch roof and the centre of this frame shows capped brood. A good sign of a healthy hive.

Weiner roast at the pond.

The campfire sure was appreciated since it was a cool evening.

Max's second birthday!

Road Runner (not like in the cartoons)

This the "real" RoadRunner!!

Ebony tree

Since Marie is taking care of my little Ebony Tree I thought I would post a picture of what it looks like here in Texas. Not that I expect my little one to be bigger then a bonsai version of it!

Fall lunch in the bush

The nice big bonfire was a little too warm on the face when cooking hotdogs. Bert tried a new position while roasting the hotdog and it seemed to work fine for him.
Rick found all of the fresh air to be tiring and had to have a nap!
Matty feeding the fire.
