Fishing in Aransas Pass, Tx. with Mother, Daddy and my kids

Those little blue crabs were really good to eat.  But one time while Mother was getting them ready to cook one got away and ran all over the camper.

Bill, Anne and Margaret enjoyed swimming in the Gulf.  We had a campsite on the beach at the Goose Island State Park.  It is near the sanctuary where the whooping cranes go for nesting. One of the biggest oak trees in the country is in that park.

Ann and Bill (Thurston) Atwood loved their cabover camper and often took Anne, Bill and Margaret camping.  This trip was to Goose Island, near Rockport, Texas where there is a bird sanctuary and breeding grounds for the Whooping Cranes that migrate from Canada every year.

Ever since they were first married and lived in south Texas Ann and Bill loved the Gulf coast and hardly ever went anywhere else for a vacation for many years.
