Check out my new goggles!

Erin took parent/child swim lessons at the beginning of the summer and
did okay. Some days she was on and other days she was on the side of
the pool. I think it was more of Daddy and Mommy telling her what to
do. She was fine when the instructor had her. So, she is now taking
the beginner lesson 'all by myself' as she would say.

First sights of Las Vegas

Vegas wastes no time in trying to get your money. First thing I see
right off the plane is a huge row of slot machines! The rest of the
pics are from the top of our hotel, The Stratosphere. So far I'm $5
in the hole:(

Vegas here we come!!!

On the plane to Las Vegas!!!

First Fishin' Trip

Erin and I took a trip to see my Dad down at Corpus Christi Lake. The
trip down takes about half a day, so we just relaxed the rest of
Thursday. Friday we all went into Alice to see my cousin Tammy, Uncle
Dutch, and Grandma Wall-Erin's great grandma. Today we are in Corpus
fishing in the Packard Channel. Grandpa bought Erin her very own
Barbie fishing pool which she caught her first fish on! He couldn't
get the fish off fast enough so she could try again!

Fun at Grandpa's

Dublin Dr Pepper

Before we left Meridian SP we went to visit Dr Pepper, TX.  This is the oldest Dr Pepper bottler in the world, Dublin Dr Pepper also has the distinction of being bottled with Imperial Pure Cane Sugar - the original Dr Pepper formula.  We saw alot of cool machinery, the oldest being from the 1920's still in use.  They also had a DP museum that was awsome!  To all my fellow drinkers of this sweet nectar I bought a case of the good stuff.  

Meridian SP

The last four days were spent at Meridian State Park. We did not get any phone service, so no daily posts. It was an okay park, small and not alot to do and no big town nearby. We were about the only ones there, so we had the whole lake and park to ourselves.

We also had the second issue of the trip. At Mckinney SP we discovered the fridge not working; Greg was able to pullup the owners manual on the iPhone and fix it. iPhones ROCK! The second happened pulling into a nearby grocery store and our weight distribution hitch bent. That required a trip onto Waco, an hour away. So Erin and I had a bum day and stayed in our PJs and watched movies all day.

Not much else to report. We are off to Bastrop State Park.
