The local quilt shops (5 total) around here had a "Shop Hop" Thursday, Friday & Saturday. Mom wasn't sure she wanted to go but I decided we were going...So Thursday we hit the one in Victoria and Port Lavaca...Then Friday as soon as we dropped Michael off at school we went and picked up a friend who quilts and headed out...Rockport, Port Aransas and Corpus Christi...a very long day and we had to be back in Victoria by 2pm...So the chauffeur (Me) had to set time limits but we did good and made it to all the shops and managed to make it back on time...we had a really great time and it was an absolutely gorgeous day!! I did manage to get a few photos!
One of the Port Aransas Auto Ferry's.
Corpus Christi Catholic Church downtown Corpus. I loved the contrast of the church with all the newer buildings rising around it...
Mom and Penny discussing Penny's shirt, that Penny made...I had called out to them twice to look my way but they were deep in a discussion about sewing and there is no getting a quilters attention when that is happening...lol...The wind was terrible too and none of us had nice hair that day...ugh! I love the smiles though, I think Mom and Penny both had fun and enjoyed going to all the different quilt shops.
On our way home from picking Michael up at school we pass over a creek and the turtles are usually out sunning them selves on a log...They've been gone due to winter but now they are back and Michael always checks to make sure the turtles are out...I took this photo for Michael! He does love his turtles!Then later Friday evening...we went out with friends Helen and Matt. It was Matt's birthday and we decided to go to dinner and Grammy volunteered to watch the kids while we went and ate...It was so nice to eat dinner without the kiddos!!
Ashley is so sweet and I love taking photos of her...Better than silly boy faces!!
We were all laughing and having a good time...
After returning to the house the munchkins were giving us a show...Grammy was the dragon! Michael the knight and Ashley the princess were attacking the dragon...It was so cute!

It looks like the day was a resounding success! I love the shots of the ferry and the church. Corpus has several churches that are photogenic. The shots of your mom and friend tell the story that they are having a great time. Looks like the kids are having a pretty good time too.

Fun pictures of a wonderful day!! TFS!!
Looks like you had a wonderful day. The photo of the turtles is just awesome - I've never seen anything like it! How cute is the Knight, the princess and the dragon! It looks like they are having a blast!
