Time with the Texas kids.... stop one

After returning from California, we closed up the rv and headed for Texas. We stopped in Deming, NM, at Dream Catchers RV park to visit with friends there. We were planning on staying one night but the wind came up and the rain came down, so we ended up staying 3 nights. We wanted to get to Dallas area so we could attend the memorial service for our daughter-in-laws Mother. We made the trip from Deming with one overnight in Pecos, TX. We pulled into Van Alstyne, Texas after driving over 400 miles on day 2. We found a place to park the rv in Van Alstyne at the home of an Escapee member that allows you to park, with electric, for free if you are a member of the club. We had stayed there in December when we passed through the area and called them to check and see if they still were letting members stay. They told us to come on in. After arriving there, they came out to welcome us and tell us that any time we are in the area, don't call just come on in and park. There are still some really nice people out there. This place is only 7 miles from the kids house in an area that lacks rv parks.The closest rv park to the kids is some 20 miles away, so this is really nice for us.

We spent the next few days visiting with Duane Jr and family. The twins, Emma and Ava have grown a bunch since we last saw them in December. They will be three in June and are talking a lot. It is so much fun to watch them interact. They play really well together and you hear them just chatting away at each other. I don't understand all of what they are saying but they seem to understand each other just fine.

We really enjoyed our visit with Jr. and family. I don't think we will get back this way for a year, so we are trying to spend as much time with all the Texas kids as we can.

All to soon we had to move on. The temporary tags on the new truck were about to expire and I had a feeling that there may a problem and I was right, more on that in the next blog.

Till next time
Duane and Louise

Those two girls are just adorable. It is pretty cool that Paul and I have watched them grow up too. How do you tell them apart? I keep looking at the Wii photo and can't see how you do it.
Enjoy and make all the memories you can!

Oh no...not another problem. Can't those things just leave us alone? We await your next blog. Enjoy your week.
