Pearland Easter Egg Hunt

On Saturday we got moving early and went to the annual Texas City Trash Bash.  Area petrochemical plants and other organizations get together to clean public areas of Texas City.  It used to be focused on the Texas City Dike - at 5-miles long the world's longest man-made fishing pier.  It is now closed "until further notice" due to damage from Hurricane Ike, it will cost $5 million to repair and might be done by October.  (and some people think it is taking me a long time to get ISP's Administration Building re-opened after Ike - we should be in the building by June!)  The clean-up now focuses on a public park on the Texas City Levee.  The levee was built after Hurricane Carla in the early 1960's and saved the city's bacon during Ike.  ISP, traditionally the smallest of the area plants, although not so much any more due to "reductions in force" at two other plants, always has a great turnout of employees, family, and friends for this effort.

After cleansing the levee we went to a huge Easter egg hunt in Pearland. Sean scored big:
