Summer Escape

We had a great time on our trip to the Wild West.  We learned about constellations, planets, frontier life, buffalo soldiers, rocks, minerals, Marfa lights, billiards, and animal habitats.





Balmorhea State Park is an enchanting place -- an oasis in the middle of the desert.  Thanks to Pop for reminding us to pack masks and snorkels.










The summit at Fort Davis provided a great view of this long-gone outpost. Both boys earned their "Junior Park Ranger" badges. 

Never too early to start playing pool.  Why not learn in Marfa?!?  Also a great spot to escape the blistering sun.
















        Sea World is still awesome!

Teach 'em young and they can be pool sharks to support you in your later years ; )
