Texas

We are now in Texas and are nearing the end of our vacation. We have slept in a total of 5 different beds since we have moved out of our apartment and I cannot wait to move into our new place so I can have my bed once again.

I am enjoying Texas but not the weather, or the bugs. On our first day here we found a LIVE scorpion in the bathroom sink. I was able to get salad tongs and flush it down the toilet, while at my Aunts lake house I also found many big black bugs, and spiders in the house. Out side I stepped in a fire ant hill and got attacked. The bites burned very bad, Joshua got bit by them too. At the lake house I saw a total of 2 cousins, 3 second cousins, my cousin's girl friend, Great Aunt, Grandad, my cousin's husband, and my Aunt and Uncle, plus 4 dogs. We went to the lake Joshua swam in the lake too, with a life jacket. Joshua and I even went on an inter tube ride. They have many pools near their house but we only went to one. It had a nice ramp into the pool so Joshua was able to walk into the pool and play.

After the lake house, Sunday, I rode to Dallas with my cousin Stefanie and stayed at her house on Sunday night. We had a delicious dinner of lasagna and Joshua had a ton of fun playing with our cousins and all of their toys. This morning we went to the Dallas Zoo with Stefanie and family and met up with my friend Katrina and her son. It was so much fun seeing the animals, the zoo also had a play area for toddlers with a climbing area, activity area where Joshua made a bird house, and a wadding pool. The first thing Joshua did at the wadding pool was lay down and in all of his clothes. It was a very humid day today.

Now we are trying to stay cool, and rest our feet. Later we will go swimming in the pool that is right out the back door. Once again I'll post pictures when I get back to Laramie and we have our computer set up.
