Start the day with Bacon aand eggs and hash browns for breakfast. At about 11:00AM went down to Rockport Beach Park to do a little "Beach Bumming". Wadered up and down the beach for a while. Took some pictures of "Skimmers".
A Skimmer is a medium sized bird with a big orange beak. They seem to congregate in very large numbers on the beach all facing into the wind in regimental order. They seem to just stand there at attention for long periods of time unless disturbed. Then, of course, we had to take a bunch of the pelicans, and egrets, and herons. Once our cameras were filled to near capacity we returned to ELTORO for a little rest. Mainly waiting until about 2:00PM, to go to the "Big Fisherman" for Denices Birthday Dinner, when the crowds would not be as great. Now, you'all that don't know, "The Big Fisherman" is a restaurant near out RV Park that features Cheap, Big meals. Our advice was not to order a fish platter, as even the mini fish platter is more that one person can begin to eat. Doggie Bags are the order of the day. For our lunch Denice chose the 6 oz. fillet and Jumbo Shrimp for about $18 and I the "All you can eat, Cajun Crawfish Tails. Both meals were served with baked potato, corn on the cob and soup. Neither of us came anywhere close to finishing our food. The restaurant has some specials that we will try another day. 
All you can eat chicken gizzards & Livers, Chicken Fried Steak and Fried Fish on Tuedays for $2.25, Thursday all you can eat Chicken Fried Steak & Fried Fish, again for $2.25, and on Sunday 2 pieces of Fried Chicken and Chcken fried steak at $2.25 per plate. Although, we could have eaten a whole lot cheaper, and been filled to capacity, we chose to go "Whole Hog" to celebrate Denice's Birthday. We were tempted to do the Lobster Tails, two of them for $34, but knew there was no way that we would be able to do them justice. However, that was today!! Who knows. Lobster is Denice's favourite food. I bet before we leave here ---

From Daughter Shannon first thing this AM, then from Ann in Kingston, ON., nephew Chris in Bremerton, WA,. Sue in Calgary,. and Samantha in Pincher Creek. Also several e-mails, some with e-cards. So all in all it seemed like she had a pretty good one, especially when it is her 39th!!!!
After our big lunch at 2:30PM we certainly did not feel like supper. I made reservations for a 9:00AM Whooping Crane boat tomorrow morning so we decided to go and check out where we were to be to catch the boat. Oh Yes, there just happened to be a DQ there. Peanut Buster Parfait and Caramel Sunday Please. Chose to go out onto Rockport Beach to enjoy same and to wait until Sunset. It was a good o
