Blue Grass Parkway and Capital today :)

Those who know the area will be proud - I drove all the way down to ...hmmm can't remember the name of the bridge - went over the bridge and back up to University of Charleston and took this picture from the river side of the college to get the capital in the background - then found my way back to the other side of the river :) Kids were impressed when we were on the Kanawha Blvd and looked back at the college and realized where they had just been. :) (make sense?)

check out this action shot! He was bounding away from the crazy lady in the van... following him... :)
Can't get away from me and my camera............

Patrick and Rachel loved this shot!


She's till there - let's quietly walk away maybe she will forget we are here..

Why did you choose this part of the highway to stop and eat - the human is 'watching' us....

Palo Duro Canyon State Park, Canyon Texas 2009

We had such a nice time - and come to believe it's only 6+ hours from our home! It was beautiful.

The children had a really good time although the horse back riding the the big hit of the day.

The sky was amazing - the scenery beautiful and the show was super!

Rachel had to go around and get autographs from all the actors - she fell asleep before we made it back to the hotel - 15 minutes away! :)

If you ever get a chance to see the show it's worth it! The amphitheatre is IN the canyon - the canyon as a backdrop and when the fireworks go off at the end they reverberate through the canyon - it is so cool.
