Halloween number 3 for Sadie

Growing up my mom always made our Halloween costumes. She has a real talent for it. With the advent of grandchildren, she has upped her game! This year mom suggested that Sadie be The Red Queen. Seeing how Sadie still has no opinion in the matter I obliged. I'm glad I did since I think she out did herself this year.

Sadie, The Red Queen

Road Trip: Dinosaur Valley State Park

Mural in Downtown Glen Rose, TX

On our weekend road trip to the Dallas area we stayed overnight in Glen Rose, Texas to visit Dinosaur Valley State Park. Glen Rose is about a hour southwest of Dallas. It's a really beautiful area of Texas. It reminded me a lot of the Austin area.

Road Trip: State Fair of Texas!

Big Tex

With the cooler air and the slower work schedule we decided to take a road trip up to Dallas to visit the State Fair. I had never been to the State Fair of Texas but had been trying to convince Evan to make the trip for the last few years. Evan had an itch for a road trip and since it was fall I talked him into the fair. As it turns out this was the first trip for all of us.
