Family, family and more family

We spent Saturday with some more of the Brown "kin". Grandaddy's sister, Jamie and her family were in Corpus Christi spending the weekend so we drove over there to see them. The Blum "kids" and the Brown "kids" spent a lot of their childhood together when the Blums lived in Nashville. We were quite entertained with some of the stories they had to tell about those days. It was a bit bittersweet though because two of those kids, Marty and Amy, were not there to participate in the fun. It was great though because all of the Blums were able to be there and all of the Browns. Jamie made the observation all of the descendents of Elbert and Louise Brown were there. A few of us went to the Texas Aquarium, of which I must mention that Liz's sister, Sue, was the main fundraiser for the aquarium back when it first was being built. It was a fun time. The most fun was the dolphin show and Charlie, Holly's son, was chosen from the audience along with several other children, to go down to the tank and learn a dolphin hand signal. They then learned that the signal was for the dolphin to splash them. They all got pretty wet but we were a bit envious of them because I'm sure it helped cool them off a bit. Shepherd was fun at the aquarium he sat on Ben's shoulders and watched the dolphin show in earnest. He barely took his eyes off, it was so cute! Of course to a family whose previous "baby" is almost 19 years old, the newest baby can yawn and we all think it is adorable :-) Today we will be seeing more family. Jack and his wife Molly are coming out to the lake and I think James's son, Jason is coming out with his family. The Blums are also coming out too so we will be having a good time hearing lots of stories I am sure! Check the facebook link for more pictures.
