We left Utah on August 5th and drove to Texas. These are 2 of the rock formations in Southern Utah that were my favorites as a kid. The one on the left, I called The Turtle, and the one on the right, my family always lovingly referred to as The Fat Lady.
These were always so exciting to see on the way to Utah because that meant we only had 4 hours left!!! How pathetic, huh? Of course, I didn't even stop long enough to get a good picture. These are from my cell phone...
THE BORDER!!!! And yes, it says Drive Friendly, the Texas Way!We arrived. And what else is there to do in Texas other than spend all your time cooling off in the pool!!
We spent literally hours in the pool. We went swimming every day (except Sundays and rainy days). It was delightful! I taught myself how to do a back dive. It's not great, but I don't flop.
When you swim that much, you kind of get creative in the games you play. My brother, Bryan, and I would try and be 'like Ariel.' We're dumb...and we know it...that's just the tip of the iceburg.
He was so good at it. That was his first try!! Not so much for me.
Wow, I give that an F!!!!!

D-, worse than before!
AWFUL!!!
I had to go to the shallow end to finally get close.
The favorite other thing that is always memorable is going to Six Flags!!!
This is a face that Samara started pulling while we were in Texas. She did it TONS while we were at Six Flags.
Us on a ride in Kiddy Land.
