Our Trip to Odessa

Last weekend we took a road trip to Odessa to visit family. The occasion was in honor of my step-great-grandmother's 100th birthday. Although she passed away a few months ago, the family wanted to have a celebration.

The family ranch was just outside of town. This is still a working ranch, and there was a lot for the kids to do.

The kids were able to ride horses and play in the sand dunes. There were a number of kids their age and they all bonded pretty quickly.

The biggest attraction was the trampoline out back. Caden found out just how dry it is in west Texas while sliding on the trampoline.


































It was a 6 hour drive each way. After the drive, and a full day in the sun, everyone was beat. The kids did great in the car, and we are hopeful that our twelve hour drive to Alabama this summer goes as smoothly.
