UPDATE

Watch for a new post from Twinkle when he gets to his next stop!

As Promised...One More Texas Post

I was invited to Girls Night Out, even though OBVIOUSLY I am not a GIRL! When you are stuck in purse, you go where you are toted.

The evening began with S'Mores at Halcyon. What a fun place! One of the guests said, "I feel like I am in a foreign film and expect to see subtitles pop up at any mintute."

My fear of fire kept me from being in the picture.We followed S'Mores up with a trip to the Irish pub (Fado') next door. I was forced to drink copious amounts of Guinness.
All in all, it has been a great time here in Texas. I can't wait to see where I go next!

So Much to Do...So Little Time

Well, my time here is drawing to a close. So much has happened since I last posted.

First I went to a trunk or treat event at the church. The family had fun decorating the truck. I even got in on the action.
We decorated it honor of Gary's brother who is serving in Iraq. He is a big Oklahoma State Cowboys fan. Considering Gary is an OU guy, that took a lot of compromise. But Gary would do just about anything for his little brother.

On Monday, Gary took me golfing. It wasn't just any old golf outing either. It was a tournament to raise money for the Hope Pregnancy Center - a place where Annemarie's father spent countless hours volunteering to counsel men and women about crisis pregnancies and parenting.

Gary played 100 holes for the fundraiser and carried me along. Having never golfed, I wasn't much good in the advice area, but I enjoyed the view while I was there.

This will not be my last post from Texas, however. Today is Annemarie's birthday and her friends are taking her for a Girls Night Out on Saturday. They said I could come along even though I am a boy. I will share with you on Sunday, provided my host can wake up and turn on the computer for me.

Fun at the Pumpkin Farm

Today I was taken on a little road trip.

Sweet Berry Farm was having their Harvest of Fall Fun.

The family made their way through a maze of maize in the shape of Texas. After finding the location of eleven stations throughout the maze and getting their cards punched, they were rewarded with sodas.
The day ended with photos in the pumpkin patches.

It was definitely a good day.

Hello from Texas

After a short trip in some mighty tight quarters, I arrive at my next hostess's house no worse for wear. When I heard I was going to Texas, I conjured up visions of old "Cowboy & Indian" movies from the wild west. Little did I know that I would be staying with a school teacher whose students were finishing up a unit on Native Americans of Texas.
Here I am getting to know a few Lipan Apache horses.

Hey, look at me! I am finally taller that someone else. :-)

As I get to know Mrs. Victory and her students more, I will share what I learned while attending fourth grade.

New place
