Last Thursday, while we were still in Pampa, my dad took Elizabeth and I to see "Texas" in the Palo Duro Canyon. This production has been running for 40+ seasons and is incredible! We had a great seats and enjoyed the show! Before going to our seats, I had Dad stop by this map to show the 6 counties that he covers as a Boy Scout District Executive.
This is a picture of the stage before the show began.
This is the opening scene:
Then on Friday, before leaving Pampa, we had to take a couple of pictures by the NEW "Welcome to Pampa" sign. The Rotary Club (of which my dad is a member) recently had these lovely signs put in at all the main "entrances" to Pampa. As is the case most days, it was ridiculously windy. My dad was taking the picture and he got rather tickled at us telling him to wait to take the picture until the wind stopped blowing. I'm pretty sure we'd still be standing there if we waited on the wind!
For those of you who know my mom, this next picture will come as no surprise (and especially if you knew her mom also)! My mom's shoes are all in boxes and labeled. This made me laugh when I saw the display in her closet. Mom, I love you!
On our way to Dallas last Friday, we stopped at the nicest rest area! I couldn't help but take a few pictures.
And nothing says, "Enjoy your stop" like the following sign. Eeeek!
What perfect rest stop wouldn't be complete without a tornado shelter? Oh dear.
Anna Claire has a new fascination with trains (or "choo choos" as she calls them) thanks to the 95 trains that go through Pampa in a day. When in Dallas, we ate at a restaurant next to the DART rail, so she was able to watch trains go by quickly. She was a fan.
Last Saturday night, Anna Claire had her first sleep over at my grandparents house. My parents were staying there, and Anna Claire spent the night while I stayed at my sister's house and was able to sleep in! Fabulous. When we went over on Sunday morning, this is how Anna Claire was dressed - wearing an undershirt of my grandpa's that was pinned in the back. Lovely. She also enjoyed sharing a bowl of Cheerios with Ma-Maw.
There was the cutest little park by my sister's house that we took Anna Claire to on a couple of occasions to let her run off some of her energy. The park had a section specifically for kids Anna Claire's age, so everything was just her size. She was fascinated by this little clubhouse. She also enjoyed climbing and swinging. Great park!
This past week, my sister started her job at paxUnited She was at a training for the first part of the week, so Thursday was her first day in the office. Anna Claire and I took her lunch.
She had a giraffe hat sitting on her desk, so she modeled it for me....and of course, monkey see, monkey do, Anna Claire had to copy.
And let's hear it for the last picture....cuteness.

My uncle directed Texas for many years in the 70s and early 80s. The director now was an actor in it back then so my uncle spends lots of time up in Palo Duro Canyon helping out at the beginning of each season. Such a great show!
It was fun having your husband & friends here again. Can't wait for the both of you to come sometime later this year - we can finally meet in person!
