| South Padre visit to Dan
      & Rose February 2017 | |
| Dan & Rose spend some time near South Padre
      Island, TX each winter in order to escape some of the Montana snows. 
      Eric and I like to join them there when we can. It is always a fun and
      relaxing time for everyone. | |

| The view from the deck of their house. The dolphins often play out in the channel there. | Pelicans offering to help the next-door neighbor clean his fish. | 
|  |  | 
| Taking an evening walk on the fishing wharf, standing near the tourist pirate ship. | Our visit to the beach started with Rose's chair dumping her on the sand. She was OK! | 
|  |  | 
| Enjoying each others' company | All smiles on the beach |

| Rose & Eric | Eric, getting tired of the camera already. | 
|  |  | 
| Casazza men, happy to have the sand between their toes - and ready for a nap in the sun! | Eric is digging deep for his fake smile now. | 
|  |  | 
| I'm not much for napping, so I toured the Port Isabel light house. | The view from the top. | 
|  |   A fun afternoon was spent at the Los Fresnos rodeo. Good times! | 
| The spiral staircase seemed endless at the time. | |
