On November 21st, we spent the whole day at South Padre Island. It was a nice break! The sun was shining. The weather was just about perfect but I probably should have remembered some sun screen!
Our first stop was the Laguna Madre Nature Trail
In one area on the boardwalk we looked down and there lots of this little crabs all over the place but the minute they knew we were taking pictures, they were off like a shot. Boy, can they move fast especially when the walk sideways. They were fun to watch and we managed at least this picture of one that was a bit lazy!
Cormorant
Then we went over to the other side of the island to check out the beach.
A flock of pelicans overhead
Then it was time for dinner and we headed over to Pelican Station at Port Isabel
We both decided to have fish and shrimp and it was really good. We hadn't had seafood in quite awhile!

Then we decided that we should return to the island to see if the sand artists had been up to anything lately and, guess what, they had!
Some of these sculptures are really something!
AND IT IS GONE!
