The Red Door & "Birthmas"

Last week, my mom surprised Albert with an early "Birthmas" present (as she likes to call it), and he was able to get his dream boat, Pete the kayak... (note - Pete is "Pokes" orange, thus the name) ...and we have gone kayaking 3 out of the 4 past days! It has become our new favorite hobby - beautiful weather, awesome scenery, and a pretty good workout. The thing we've enjoyed most about it is that we can drop it anywhere - at the bay around our house, at the bay in Rockport, or even at the beach.

I also included a picture of our new red door. The design is still in the works, but I wanted to show the color, along with our terrace railings, which were put in a few weeks ago.

Love the RED door- your home looks almost finished.... maybe you should have the ROUSH Christmas at your house this year????!!!!!
Pete, the kayak, looks smooth on top of your vehicle!!!!! Can't to get my ride on Pete and Albert can do ALL the rowing- tee hee
By the way I voted on your poll that was tough- no bath or no teeth brushing - really tough choice!
Love,
Mom Gin

People used to kayak alot at Kanakuk and I always wanted to try. It seems like it would take quite a bit of balance and upper body strength--which I posess neither.See you soon. I really need to get some long walks in!!
