It is hot here in Northern Texas! After a late start due to visiting a great friend from when we lived in Albuquerque, and with another time zone change not in our favor, I find ourselves running a wee bit behind today - not due to arrive at our destination until 7 p.m. tonight. So we decided to find a different stop for the night; when we arrived, the pool was closed, there was no shade and it was 99 degrees outside. We have no choice but to move on to our next campground 150 miles away. Meanwhile the kids saw their first real cowboy (during this trip) at our stop in Texas. They really admired his large cowboy hat, belt buckle, and long cowboy jeans with boots to match. The boys were asking to get on their genes when we got back in the truck. We decided to cool off a little with a real treat - something we rarely have - a cold vanilla ice cream cone. The kids really enjoyed it and so did I, as I watched their big eyes and tongues lick the cones. We are truly enjoying ourselves. Our country is so big and so beautiful. Right now we're crossing the plains of Texas and it's just so neat to see the big blue sky and large open fields. We are very blessed and privileged to have the opportunity to travel across the country together as a family!
