Exploring Abilene!

Texas has been so great and we have had a ton of fun here.  The fourth of July was fantastic.  It the one day the whole summer the boys get to come home early! Its so fun. While the guys are gone though all the girls get together and have a pot luck at the pool. Meghan and I made a fruit pizza it was so yummy and it turned out pretty cute.

The fireworks in Abilene were probably some of the best fireworks I have ever seen.  They do them by the zoo and have a live band. We had a ton of fun. It was such a nice night. 

We have done some other fun things as well.  Meghan and I decided to go check out a Museum here in Abilene called Frontier Texas.  It was really neat. We learned a lot about Texas history and how it all started.  It was really interesting and the Museum was really interactive we enjoyed it a lot.  

This Stagecoach was in Little House on the Prairie and The Three Amigos


We also went to the zoo.  It's a smaller zoo but they had quite a few animals.  We got to see them feed a alligator and the guy that fed him almost got bit it was pretty intense.  It was sooo hot that day though. I think our favorite part was the reptile house because it was air conditioned.  
Feeding the Giraffes


Meghan left this week to go to a family reunion. It's been weird not having my friend here.  I have to come up with ways to entertain myself.  If it wasn't so hot I would go outside more but the heat is crazy here. You start sweating the moment you walk outside because of the humidity. It's wonderful at night though.

The ward here is teeny tiny but everyone is so nice. They are all excited that we are there. Its so funny we played Bingo in relief society. Its a lot of fun.

Texas has been great.  Robert has been having so much success and we are truly blessed! Love you all.

    1. Ha Ha Ha no I don't know why those branches were there... Maybe to scratch their heads :) They ate these little Granola Bar looking things.
