Kristi & Randy's 2nd anniversary at Felix's

On New Years Eve we joined Devyn along with Jody & Bruce and Don & Zola at Felix's Fish Camp Restaurant, one of the best restaurants in Mobile, to celebrate Kristi & Randy's anniversary. This is where they were married exactly 2 years ago outside on the sand so you'll have to go waaay back in the blog to see those pictures again. Once again we didn't make it to midnight. After Felix's great meal we returned to the RV Park where we had reserved a room so we could enjoy an anniversary cake that matched their wedding cake and play cards.

Gulf Shores zoo

On Wednesday morning we went shopping for the zoo animals. D picked up LOTS of food gifts (the zoo had a long shopping list) that we took to the small local zoo. Chuckie, the resident alligator and an Australian bird were favorites but so was feeding the critters. After the zoo we went to the Hangout on the beach for lunch. We had some extra bread & fries so D got to feed some more wildlife!

delayed Christmas

Tuesday evening when Jody got off work Judy had fixed a nice ham dinner then we had Christmas. Devyn had the job of handing out the gifts.

Mobile, Riverside park & Fort Conde

Tuesday afternoon we went to Cooper Riverside Park downtown, 5 or 6 minutes from Jody & Bruce's home. They saw the USS Independence which will be commissioned January 16, didn't quite make Randy want to rejoin the Navy. We also visited and old Spanish fort across the street. We are really enjoying seeing Devyn and letting her see some new sights. Like her hat? She also caught a camelian!! It was cold so the little lizard was moving slow.

The Michiganders have arrived

Sunday Randy, Kristi & Devyn arrived in New Orleans. Judy, Jody & I drove over to welcome them and pick D up. R & K were spending a couple days in New Orleans while we returned to Mobile with D. On the way back we stopped at The Shed in Louisiana for some good BBQ. Monday Judy & I took D to the hospital where Jody is completing her residency. Jody took her on a small tour and we had lunch in the cafeteria then went for a walk outside to see the children's statues that are scattered around the hospital. Judy, D & I returned to our home Monday afternoon & spent the night here.
