Hinds Visit from Hannibal



David and I were thrilled that Danny and Linda Hinds, friends of ours from Hannibal, MO. were able to make a trip to see us in Feb. They stayed at the Isle of Capri Casino for three nights. We did some sight seeing and they came over to the RV Resort for a cook out one evening. We had a wonderful visit.




I've always loved the song "Under The Boardwalk". So I improvised with a dock leading out into the Mississippi Sound. I would have gone on the dock but David noticed the "Private Dock" sign. :-) Those party poopers!!!



During our walk along the beach we came upon this Huge Jelly Fish.... It was really gross looking. Linda took a long stick and tried to turn it over to see the legs. As she moved it the jelly on top jiggled and she hopped and I screamed. The guys just laughed at us.




Linda saw this shape in the sand and announced that there must be horses some where close. I just started laughing because all this really was, was a print from a tennis shoe.



We came upon a little girl feeding the Sea Gulls bread. It was so cute to watch. There were lots of Sea Gulls and all of a sudden a very large Pelican came from out of no where. Really took all of us by surprise. We were able to get fairly close to him. This was a reeeeeally...... Big Bird.

Danny and Linda are planning on a return visit next Feb. We are already looking forward to it.

Mardi Gras 2008



David and I attended a small Mardi Gras Parade in gulf Port a few days before I went to Brownsburg for Cash's birthday. I never saw so many beads in my life.

A man standing next rto me had a fish dip net and was catching the strands of beads with that.

The following pic's are of the actual Biloxi Mardi Gras Parade on Feb. 5th. David was invited to set in the Grandstands and view the parade with a couple that live across from us in the RV Park.

These people belong to the Mardi Gras Association. So it's suppose to be a big deal if you get invited to sit in the Grandstand. But of course because David did not know his way around downtown he couldn't find the Grandstands. I was very disappointed because he would have gotten all kinds of pic's from there. He would have seen all the entertainment and the King and Queen Crowning. There is always next year. :-)
