On the road again...

Back by popular demand....  Our Summer Vacation Blog

We decided to take another road trip this summer.  This one isn't quite as long and we won't visit as many states because we are heaading west.   David had to work today, so we couldn't leave until he got home.  The kids and I made sure the car was packed so we were ready to head out when David got home. 

Carson is exicted to go on 'vucation.'

Haylee is ready to hit the road.

We waited until we got out of the DFW area before we stopped for dinner.  The only problem is that if you wait to long, you don't have very many choices.  We were starving and decided we would stop at the next place and the winner was... Dairy Queen.  This was the first time the kids had steak fingers from the DQ.

Carson appears to be enjoying his steak finger.

Haylee gives the steak fingers a thumbs-up.

We have made it to Sweetwater for the night.  Tomorrow will be a day of driving.  Our destination tomorrow night is Peoria, AZ.  We will spend a few days there before heading on.

Our plans later next week have changed due to the recent fires in Colorado Springs.  David's dad has lived there since April and was evacuated earlier this week.  He was able to see pictures that were taken of his house and the Flying W Ranch (he worked there) by a fire department and nothing was left but the concrete slab, not even ashes.  He lost everything that he wasn't able to fit into his car.  We ask that you remember him and others in the area in your prayers.
