Great Week

Well Ray was on vacation last week, and it was so nice to have him home. He works so hard to provide for us; I am glad he had a chance to take a break from all of the stress. I would say that I am glad he got a chance to relax, but that was not the case. He had so many projects that he wanted to do, that he almost worked himself to death. I am glad that he got his projects accomplished, so now he can make another list of things he wants to do, lol.

We did manage to squeeze in a short trip during the week as well. It was so nice to get away for a little bit. The hotel was nice and I did not have to clean it! We went to a place called Fossil Rim and it was a wonderful place to visit. It is a wildlife center that has exotic animals that you get to feed. You drive through the park (you must stay in your vehicle), and the animals come up to you waiting for you to feed them. Some of the deer and the giraffe would even go so far as sticking their heads in the windows. It was an awesome experience. It is not every day that you get to hand feed a giraffe or reach out and pet a zebra (the zebra would bite so you had to be careful with them). It took a little over two hours to drive through and every minute was amazing. We also went to Dinosaur Valley State Park and saw the dinosaur tracks. That was also a cool thing. To think that that place had once been inhabited by these mysterious creatures and that their mark survived all of this time for us to see. Ray also proved, yet again, what a wonderful father he is while at the park. The tracks are in the middle of the Paluxy River, so Ray carried Tyson over rocks and boulders so that he could see the tracks like everyone else. It was not an easy task, but Ray did not care and he scooped Tyson up and headed out. We all had a great week and I know this will be a vacation that will be remembered fondly by all of us.
