MLK Jr. Day

Because Jason works for a bank, he gets almost all the holidays off. This includes MLK Jr. Day. We decided that we ought to spend the day outside because it is the best time of year for outside activities in Texas. So, we invited my Dad, brother(Cory), sister-in-law(Andrea), and newest niece(Emma) to meet us in Glen Rose for the day. It was perfect weather, slightly warm with a cool breeze. There were not too many people there. AND, we were with family. We prepared(and by we I mean Dad of course) lunch first and ate, then headed on our trek. Jason carried Jessica, Andrea carried Emma(then Cory took over later), and the rest of us walked by ourselves. We parked the car at the first sight and walked to each site after that. It was so much fun to walk through God's creations and enjoy great company, while we saw some pretty COOL dinosaur tracks. Jason and I have seen these several times, but it is always fun to show it to more people.
One of the first spots we came to was on this pretty large beach area. There evidently were some awesome skipping rocks, so everyone(excluding me, Jessica, and Emma) began skipping rocks across the river. If I had to choose a wiener, wait I mean winner, it would be Cory. He always got the rock to skip and most of the time it was a HUGE skip.

that's funny, we went on a hike too. yes, here in colorado. it was nice in the desert (about 30 min away) and warm (about 45 degrees). There was still some snow on the ground so the sand was muddy, but it was a nice hike. Didn't post any pics yet. glad you guys got together.
