October 24 - 26, 2008 we went to Lake Texana State Park for the annual pumpking carving weekend. Tim and I joined Whip and Cindy, Mark and Cindy, Denton and Carol, Kirk and Vickie and Sue. A great time was had by all.
The wildlife was amazing at the park. Deer would come and eat right out of your hand. The raccoon probably would too but they would rather sneak up on you and steal your cigars. HA! That happened to Whip.
On September 13, 2008, about 1 a.m. Hurricane Ike came into the Texas Gulf Coast as a strong Category 2 storm, 110 mph. The storm hit Galveston directly. The storm was huge and hit areas just west of Surfside and as far east as the Louisiana border. The devastation is widespread.
These pictures are after the storm taken in the Clear Lake & Galveston Bay area. (League City, Kemah, Clear Lake Shores, Waterford Marina, Portofino Marina, Lakewood Yacht Club, Watergate Marina)
Enjoy the pictures and remember to keep us all in your prayers.
