Trip to El Paso

This past weekend (Wed through Sunday) we went to El Paso to visit Dave, Peggy, and the kids. The landscape goes from Austin green, into the hill country and then the desert. It was a 8.5 hour drive. Along the way we saw some very beautiful scenery.

On a rest stop about one hour east of El Paso, we let Louie out to walk around. He ended up with these little prickers in all four of his paws! One was even bleeding. Poor Lou...he declared it the worst rest stop ever! Woo oooo :(

Here is Peggy, Jack and Bella. We are at The Greenery restaurant in El Paso. Yummy!

This is Quinn....isn't he a cutey!?

We brought a gingerbread house for the kids and helped them put it together.

We all had a lot of fun doing it, and I think more frosting and candy ended up in our mouths than on the house!


Voi La! Beautiful job guys!

David has shown himself to be quite the artist. Many great drawings were done over the weekend. This is a fun piece of his where he decorated the wine rack.

While there we brought the kids their Christmas presents. Along with these great Groucho glasses, David got sea monkeys from Uncle Jack. Don't forget to feed them Wednesday, David! Bella is shown here coloring in her new Hello Kitty book with pink pen.

A trip to El Paso isn't complete without going across the boarder to Juarez. It's touristy so there are many people walking around peddling their goods, including music at your table. We got a couple cervecas and went shopping, then had a light lunch there.

Dave took us to a Miners game. Here is David in my vest trying to keep warm.

We also went hiking at one of the State Parks. Lots of great catci to be seen.
