Rainy day in Mobile

We awoke to lots of black clouds, and it rained on-and-off all day.  Along with the rain was some thunder, sending Ranger into his shaking, shivering mode.  So much of the day was spent inside reading and relaxing.

Nephew Clay and his fiancee Lauren came over in late afternoon,  and the rain let up enough for us to take a walk along the one trail at Meaher State Park, much of which is actually a boardwalk over the water of Mobile Bay.  Clay spotted this alligator along the way.  

 With high winds and more thunderstorms expected, Lauren drove us to Kelly and Michael's house, where we were able to grill hamburgers and hotdogs and have a good visit.
