September 2013 - Visiting our Kids

El Paso, Texas - Our visit with Jeremy, Amanda and the boys was brief as the kids were really busy and did not have much free time.  We were able to go to our grandkids football practice in the evening.  During the day, John and I enjoyed swimming in the large pool at Mission RV Park. It was nice as we were able to relax.


Abilene, Texas - Our visit with Bill, Lorilee and the girls was great and we stayed three weeks.  We stayed at Abilene State Park, where Lorilee works, so we saw her daily. We went for walks, hiking, bird watching and rode our bikes, which was overdue.  We saw so many animals but our favorite was a little armadillo, we named him Arnold (Arnie). 
While here, would you believe she talked us into volunteering as Camp hosts at the park, as they needed help.  So of course, we enjoyed volunteering.  We sure enjoyed our time helping out. Abilene State Park is a really nice park and lots to do. We an do that again!


We spent time with the family having dinner (s), going to the movies, church functions, going to the balloon festival and just enjoying each others company. We surprised Paige at her job and took pictures of her as a cosmetologist. The man she was cutting hair was really complimenting her which of course made us proud grandparents.
