Galveston With Fr. Keller

So we decided to start our adventure with Fr. Keller at a somewhat local exclusive joint. WhatABurger is not gourmet food at all but it is still Texas born and yummy for fast food. Here we ran into the nicest person alive. She made our day, seriously. If every counter worker it he world were as nice as her, I would never eat at home. We all felt so loved and cared for the woman behind the counter. She wasn't fake or crazy just very very loving. When she told us to come back the kids begged to stop for dinner on the way home in hopes to see her again. Thank you nice lady, you are in our prayers!


The next part of the adventure was to do something that the Texas T's had never done. Father was an old hat at riding a ferry but the kids were very nervous. Then once we got to the other side they couldn't believe they had ever been worried. It was a neat thing to do. We road to and from Port Bolivar and Galveston.

This is an official picture of two of the ferry boats that are run by TxDOT.








The TomTom was kind of funny. Our route went over the water, no problem.

Once back on Galveston we headed to Strand Street for some of the tourist type things to see.
LaKing's Confectionery was a little bit of heaven and history. I can't believe I have never been there living in Houston now for 8 years. I remember seeing a story on the family after hurricane Ike and there rebuilding and cleaning up. I am so glad that they are still open. A visit there was really a treat. I plan to stop by every time we visit Galveston from here on out.







Outside we found this sitting area. The kids played a quick game of chess while we tasted our chocolate.

Sugar and Goobers tried some Crab and Lobster, they were chocolate. This is the only way these two could eat shellfish.




If all that wasn't enough fun we headed to the beach for some fly a kite time. It was perfect on the shore. There is a natural breeze that comes off the water so the kites all went right up. We were on the East Beach to be exact.














Look at those kites, we had 9 strung together and going very very high.










The top picture is when every thing was fine.
After the string broke the kites all starting going every which way. Eventually they fell accross some power lines so we had to retrieve them instead of letting them go. Truly it was a perfect day. Thank you Father Keller for coming to see us and for spending the day playing with us. It was so much fun.
