We
left Saturday evening and by the time we got to Yuma, the windshield made the coach look like a really used fly swatter. Greg is still trying to classify these bugs even after I've reminded him it's not his job anymore.. |
|
Sophia isn't sure what to make of the new chair and coach. It's her first real long trip.. |
Christopher has it down, but he's trying to negotiate his way out of the carseat. |
Christopher got a decent shot of Papi. |
Surprise! |
Daddy
starts us out on the second day. Note the desert scenery ... it stays this way until we get out of Texas. |
Christopher found a tree branch which he demanded were antlers from a Reindeer. |
"See, this is how they go on the Reindeer!" |
More desert. |
And More desert. |
And More desert. |
Christopher watches as Papi fills the tank. |
This used to be the "Welcome Center" for New Mexico. |
Christopher is holding Sophia to look out the window while Daddy fills the tank. |
And a better shot of Chris holding Sophi. |
This
gas station has huge arrows stuck in the ground pointing the way to the
station. |
Christopher found this airplane. |
Daddy got all excited when the Harley's passed. |
We
statyed in this campground in New Mexico when it was new in May 2004. The only thing that changed is how FULL it is today. |
And more desert. Oh yea, that's Albuquerque. |
We
stopped at a rest area and came across some horses. Christopher was trying to feed the male. |
The horse had food already so Chris gave up. |
"You need to eat your food horsey." |
Presenting a horse. Christopher, Vannah has nothing on you. |
He climbed the railing. |
Another turn of the head and camera. |
Sophies first visit with a horse. |
And her first caterpillar. |
Christopher
has a towel that looks like a caterpillar at home, but he was unsure about his first real one. |
Sophia
got ahold of Christopher's water cup. Hey, we may be finished with bottles for her already. Woo Hoo! |
We
took a little time at a rest area so Christopher could get out and
run/play. He loves playing football. |
Break time. |
Checking out flowers. |
It smells ... ok. |
This was a cattle ranch in Texas. I-40 is not a friendly place for any animal. |
What's with these folks and planting inert objects? Don't they know you can't grow cars? |
Just inside Oklahoma, we see wind-powered generators. |
Just inside Oklahoma, we see wind-powered generators. |
Tornado's are rough on water towers. |
We've stumbled upon a heard of orange cones. |
This is a training center for road building. So now we know who to blame. |
Our
first stop in Oklahoma and we found "their" version of a
wheelchair shopping cart. I can't find the joystick. Or the battery. |
We stayed at Twin Fountains RV Park in OKC. Sophia got her feet in the grass and liked it. |
What does it taste like? |
Okay, changed my mind, I don't think I like it anymore. |
Christopher found the playground. |
The
gravel is not a soft enough landing so he decided to stop sliding and use it to slide the rocks. |
I caught him throwing rocks up the ladder. What'cha doin'? |
Uh, nothin'. |
Back to throwing rocks. |
He's winking at the ducks in the water. |
