Heading west.
We are really on our way now. We had a great weekend in the metroplex with the grand kids and David & Rachel. They spent Friday afternoon and evening and Saturday afternoon and evening with us and we had a ball. They also stopped by for a few hours on Sunday afternoon but left before dinner so they could get the kids to bed at the usual time since they were up so late the last two nights. It was quite hot outside, over 100 all three days, but we did have the lake and the kids enjoyed that and we did have some shade which we all enjoyed. We played several games of Uno each day and I introduced Cole and Maryn to the game of dominoes. We played Mexican Train with a set of double twelve dominoes and just had a great time as we fumbled through he game.
The kids also fed the ducks and chased the squirrels in between all of the other stuff. I cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on Friday and David & Rachel ordered Chinese food for all of us on Saturday. All of the food was excellent and we were all full after each meal. It was too hot to have a campfire so we roasted marsh mellows on the grill flame with the grill plate removed. Coupled with some nice Hershey's Chocolate and graham crackers we all enjoyed some smores.
Cole is really getting tall as you can see from the video above. He just loved kindergarten this year and is looking forward to first grade in the fall. His school seems to be most excellent! When I visited on Grand Parents Day I was quite impressed with the facilities, the class size, and the attitude of the students and the staff.
We left the metroplex this morning, Monday, and drove north west to Goodlett, Texas, about 120 miles south east of Amarillo, Texas. Tomorrow we head for Santa Rosa, New Mexico as we boogie across the U.S. on Interstate 40. We will drive again on Wednesday to Gallup, New Mexico and on Thursday to Williams, Arizona where we will spend two days and catch our breath a bit.
I will do another travel update from Williams, AZ and will try to include a few pictures for your viewing enjoyment. In the meantime enjoy the video above of Cole walking on a log that is mostly floating in the lake. He finally made it all of the way without a tumble. Enjoy and be safe.
