Big Bend Trial Run




Tomorrow morning, we will leave for a week's vacation in the Big Bend National Park. It will be a week full of hiking, good conversations and lots of beautiful scenery. Big Bend Chisos Basin where we will be staying has wonderful weather. The highs for the daytime temperature is in the lower 80's and the lows are around 65.

Even with these great temps, it's still best to wake up early in the morning and get an early start on your hike. In that regard, we thought we'd do a trial run this morning -- that is, we'd get everyone up early to practice getting an early start in the Big Bend.

Needless to say, Joshua didn't make it. He does like his sleep.

Ya'll enjoy the 100+ degree temps here in Abilene this week! ;-)

Boys Night Out




I took the boys up to ACU to run some energy off. They got thirsty and needed a drink so we stopped by the office breakroom and swilled water.

The Bird House in Cedar Gap. Flower on walking trail.




I always enjoy taking pictures of flowers when we go on hikes. I don't know what this one is called but I thought it was pretty.
