More Than Pickleball

 This group connected around pickleball but has evolved into so much more.  Our newest adventure was a birding trip to experience the Rockery at  High Island, Texas and the shore birds at Bolivar Flats. Followed that with ferry ride to Galveston.  Ending the day at San Leon, Texas with snacks and drinks at Gilhooley's and dinner at Top Water Grill.

At Smith Oaks - from right to left - Our group today was Nancy, Bill, Sally, Kathy, and Tom plus not in photo was Photographer Pat.
