Walking

This morning we got up very early and drove over to pick Ed up. We are driving his Lexus while he goes out of town and our truck is at the Chevy dealer for repairs. Ed was flying out of DFW early this morning, and it's a good thing we got there early to take him. An accident had further jammed an already congested route to the airport. Ken got a nice shot of the sunrise on the way.

After we dropped Ed off, we went back to visit Julie and the kids and do some laundry. Cate was at school, but the rest of us took a walk, or in Sam's case, a bike ride, on the Flower Mound Trail.

We walked two miles out and two miles back, with Jesse in his stroller and the two dogs on their leashes. A little snake wriggled across the path. Julie thought it might be a copperhead, so we killed it. There are lots of snakes along the creek near the trail, including several poisonous types.

After lunch, Sam sat still to watch a TV show, and that's all it took for the long bike ride to catch up with him. Meanwhile, Jesse had fallen asleep in his high chair, eating cheese. We had two tired boys.

Julie went to Sam's school, Reading Friends, during lunch hour to give some of the teachers chair massages in honor of teacher appreciation week.

We had one heck of a thunderstorm this evening, a real gullywasher, but it passed pretty quickly. Fortunately, since our black tank is full, and we don't have our truck so we can't take it to the dump station. That means we're using the public bath house, which is near our site, until we pick the truck up tomorrow (we hope).
