Xmas vacation with Sandpiper, Swallow, Duckie and Blue Heron was a blast. We had our meeting, planned by me (Pelican) face to face, built gingerbread houses and worked on ocean badges (even though technically I live on the Gulf of Mexico), but to me, the water all goes into the same place. We ate pringles and drank fruit smoothies for a snack and played a new card game called Phase 10. Duckie taught me a new card game called Garbage, which she is very good at. Our vacation was action packed and I'm still recovering from all the walking and exploring we did. We experienced "mystic societies", ate throwed rolls, watched a moon pie rise over Mobile, collected sea shells and ate alligator bites just to name a few, and I stress "few" things we did. Sandpiper documented the entire experience through pictures and I can't wait to see them. Speaking of pictures, I will take pictures of my Christmas decorations before I store them for another year. I loved having y'all here and miss you already. See y'all soon via cyber space cam. Love to y'all. Pelican
