Paris..the city of lights...uh...trees....cowboys

Posing and playing at a rest stop.
I was over 12 feet away when i took this picture...what a lense!

We have pulled into the lovely town of Paris, TX. Today's drive was quick compared to the last two days. And it turned greener as we drove along. Of course with the green comes the humidity. It has been in the high 90s all day. We left Buttercup at home because the coldness of Wyoming on our drive back from Iowa last week. But it turns out it wasn't necessary. So I will hunt out a pert store tomorrow and buy a red tailed boa if we can find one....maybe.
The biggest event of our drive today was when I noticed something black on the road, a split second later I could tell it was a tarantula, a spit second later it was a flat tarantula. Too fast and too late...sorry tarantula lovers.
We love Texas rest stops. they are way cleaner, bigger, and cooler than any other state so far. Most have playgrounds and super clean facilities. There are also many pic nic spots right off the highway.
Our desk clerk here has a super high pitched voice. It's like having a munchkin checking you in except she is a big lady. Helium overdose????
We have already hit the pool and Olivia is catching her first "Wizard of Oz" experience on TV. It's amazing to see someone watch that movie for the first time. It reminds me of when I saw it as a child.
