Mom N' Dad took the girls to the sprawling landscape of the Permian Basin to visit with family. This is the first time that Mom's side of the family, minus grandma, had seen the girls. It seems as if you spend more time driving than visiting but it is worth it in order for our girls to met and see their great grandparents, grandmother, aunt, uncle and cousin.
We made the trip in record time...the traveling with twins that have messy diapers and need to be changed in the Dairy Queen parking lot in a town called Clyde, Texas record time, that is!
Every Texan knows this sign. If you don't, you aren't a Texan. Get it? Back in the 80's and early 1990 this HS was king.
The real deal. The HS football stadium that brought you, Friday Night Lights. The history here is pretty cool. It rolls up over the horizon, nothing but the light stanchions to be seen in every direction. But the stadium itself doesn't even begin to compare to some of the monoliths built in homage of HS football in the Dallas area...I am talking to you SL Carroll!?
This is the view for miles and miles. Ever wonder where the road to nowhere lead... It is actually quit beautiful. There is something about the west Texas landscape that brings out the "outlaw" in me.
These little guys are all over the place. Prairie Dogs are pretty entertaining to watch. And yes that is Stonehenge in the background and no we are not in the English countryside.
after a long weekend in west Texas visiting family, being chased by a little "rat dog", and 12 hours in the car...the dog has had enough!
