Sneak Peak: Texas Sandfest 2017 Port Aransas

[Kevin]

We went down to Port Aransas for Easter, last weekend. This coming weekend they have the Texas Sandfest. http://www.texassandfest.org/ the website if you are curious. Anyway, they were creating some of the sand displays early, and visitors could look but not touch. Anyway, here are some samples of what they do. Pretty neat really. They carve and design the sand displays and then spray them with a thinned out glue mixture to hold them together. I think the three poles are for flags...

We did have our dog, Blizzard, at the beach also. On Sunday we got back to the hotel and he was "dog tired." Pun intended. In fact, he was too dog tired to even eat.

That is really cool! I wouldn't miss it I were in the area.

 

[Fox Mike]

They are great. I have seen them do similar things at Ocean City MD. It is amazing the talent that is displayed.

BTW, was Blizzard 'herding' everyone or just the family?

Frank:
Blizzard is such a good dog! He tries to heard my daughter constantly. She gets really annoyed it he kept following her into the waves on her boogie board. It's really funny. But he listens to us and doesn't run off at all.

We were at the zoo once and they had a free flight bird show. Someone asked what keeps the birds from flying away. The zoo keeper said "why should the leave, the foodnis right here."

We always wonder what keeps a dog around? He's a real family dog, and it's got to be something more than just the food. Anyway, long answer, but Australian Shepherds have to be the best dogs for families I can think of.

Those are great pictures and the people show a lot of skill there, plus Blizzard looks like he is having a wonderful time!

I can't see anything! I had a boss that used to go there every year.

So did you see Son flying over in the SNJ-4. He gave 5 rides Saturday. One was to an 8 year old boy and it was his first airplane ride. I was also there for the weekend.

 

[Kevin]

Didn't see the SNJ-4. But we did see a Coast Guard Helicopter. Each morning around 10 or 10:30 he would fly parallel to the beach just off a ways and not very high. I'm pretty sure if was a Coast Guard Helicopter, it was Orange and white at least.
