We Continued West

We left Mobile, actually Theodore was the location or our campground, and headed northwest making a stop in Monroe, Louisiana for the night and then on to Roanoke, Texas a suburb not far from Dallas and the campground that puts us just 20 minutes from our youngest daughter's home in Southlake. It was wonderful to see Janet and Jack again (we had visited at Christmas) and enjoy the hugs and laughter of our three grandchildren Anders (9), Dagny (6) and Karsten (18 months).

As we traveled through Louisiana we passed fields of yellow wild flowers along the expressway

putting lots of sunshine in a rather dreary looking day.

Sadly we missed the blue bonnets that stretch sometimes for miles along the roads in Texas but there were some smatterings of red, yellow, white and pink wild flowers.  It made for a pretty drive.

After we arrived we had the fun of playing in the backyard on the trampoline and swings getting a chance to have a little outdoor fun with the kids.  Here you can see that I even got in the action a bit with Dagny climbing on the trampoline, sweeping it down and doing a few fun things with her.

She is taking gymnastics so we even practiced running, leaping somersaults
