Texas Adventure 2007

We are on the beginning of our Texas trip. We left Saturday morning and drove to Lamar, MO where we stayed with Alfred and Carolyn Banwart and went to church with them on Sunday. They invited two couples with young children in for supper Saturday evening and our children enjoyed some playmates.

After spending most of the day in church we drove about 4 hours to Oklahoma City to eat supper with Uncle Al and Aunt Sally. We met at an IHOP near our hotel. We waited for close to an hour for our order to arrive and mentioned that to the manager so he offered dessert on him, so guess what, we ordered dessert and got to wait again!!! Thankfully we were in good company or it would not have been worth the wait for the free dessert.

After having spent so much time sitting on Sunday our children were about bouncing off the wall and were not very well behaved at the restaurant. We were glad for the opportunity to see Uncle Al and Aunt Sally as they live so far away it is only about once a year we usually get to see them.




This picture is from Monday morning at the hotel cleaning out the van before we got back on the road to drive to Hillsboro, TX. There are two farmers in the area here that Chad will be working with while they are planting.

Now it is Tuesday and Jesse, Javan and Jubilee are sleeping while Jared and Jolene are entertaining themselves with some puzzles and games I brought for while we are in the hotel. Chad should be back shortly and then we may go to a park to hike for awhile.

I am really enjoying the high speed connection at our hotel. I can upload pictures lickety split. :) If I could do this at home, you might here from me more often. :)

We plan to be on our trip for approximately two weeks, so stay tuned for more updates on our Texas adventure 2007!!!
