Goodbye El Paso...Hello San Antonio!

The purported purpose of my trip to Texas was to help Kate and Mike move from El Paso to San Antonio, Texas. The drive half-way across the state took about nine hours. It was a fun drive. The kids were very good and we were able to experience some of the rain from Tropical Storm Alex (that was not the fun part). The drive reminded me a bit of driving across central Utah until with came to the area with more trees...then it was uniquely Texas.

White Sands Revisited

The Norton family and I made one last visit to White Sands, New Mexico before they left El Paso for San Antonio. When we visited last August we bought a one year pass. I believe they got their money's worth out of it.

My Precious Grandchildren

Megan and Robby were disagreeing over who should possess a book. Megan won and Robby got his feelings hurt, so he stormed into the dining area, dragged a chair to the wall and put himself in "timeout." Watch the video at the end and guess who the book actually belongs to!
