Bradbery Family Adventures
Things we do outdoors
Steve Bradbery and I headed to Matagorda Island to see what new adventure we could find. The weather was awesome and the water in the bay was clear and calm. We unloaded the boat and set up camp and then decided to go fishing. Matagorda is known for the great Continue Reading;
We took another trip to the beach last Saturday. The weather was just too perfect not to. We went further down the beach this time than last time. Unfortunately we didn’t find near as many fossils. We did find a few sea beans and sea hearts, lots of well tumbled Continue Reading;
