We then headed to Plainview Texas to spend a couple of days with my step mom and youngest brother. Beverly and Wynn seem to be doing great and we enjoyed visiting and catching up with them. It is always good to spend a couple of days in my home town, lots of memories here.
We stopped in at Palo Duro Canyon overnight on the way to Dumas to visit with our niece Britney and her husband Cody along with their two children Ashlyn and Braxton. Both Cody and Britney are such a pleasure to visit with as they seem to enjoy life and live it to its fullest. I didn't have a memory card in the camera when we were over looking at their new 40 foot, 5th wheel toy hauler/camper, trust me it is Big and Awesome! They have owned it for a year now but it has "FUN" radiating out of every inch of it. I can't even imagine all the good times and memories their family will have traveling around the country in this rig. I think I can say that family is very much living the American Dream at least from my perspective. Thanks Britney and Cody for a very nice afternoon/evening.
It was raining about as hard as it can when we left the Dumas Campground around 6:30 am and I had to suit up in my yellow raincoat and pants so I could hook up the car and then drive through 3 or 4 inches water to get to the dump station to dump our sewer/gray water before heading out to Bridgeport Lake. I don't know why we don't think of filming during these times as that would have been a funny video now that it's over and I am all dry. I will try to remember next time though.
We were hosted at several locations on our drive from southern California to northern Texas and it sure made the travel much more enjoyable and less expensive. Thank you all and I hope you enjoy viewing the video as much as I enjoyed putting it together.
Glad to hear you made it safely through all of the rain. We REALLY would like to have some rain in Snyder. Great stories and great pics. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
ReplyDeletehi Tonya, not sure what the weather is in Snyder but we are looking forward to getting there. It is pretty warm and humid (for us) here in Dallas/Ft. Worth area.
DeleteWe have have had a great time visiting with Britney & Shannon as well as their Families. They are all such impressive parents and it was such a pleasure visiting with the kids.
See you soon, hope you get your rain BEFORE we get there though.
Wow! Lake Bridgeport isn't that far from me! Wave at me when you drive by the Dallas area!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy, we will both wave as we drive by Dallas on our way to our next camp at Lake Texhoma. Hope your having a great day even though it is a bit hot. I hear it's going to cool down for a couple of days so we plan to enjoy some of your 70 degree weather over the next couple of days.
ReplyDeleteIt was great to have y'all over for the evening. Thanks again for taking the time to drive up and visit with us up here in the top off the panhandle. We will have to meet up somewhere on the road with our Tv's. Hope y'all continue to have a great trip.
ReplyDeleteHey Cody
ReplyDeleteWe really enjoyed visiting with you & the family. The kids are both growing up so fast. Hope we can connect up with you all and that Sweet 5th wheel toy hauler of yours somewhere down the road.
Thanks for taking the time to show us around Dumas just wish you could have held the rain off until after we got of town a few miles. It was a swamp at the it's park when we woke up. You would have got a chuckle if you saw me hooking up and heading out at dawn, in all the rain and water puddles.
See you down the road
