Tucumcari. Where are you?
Lubbock.
The campground is better in Tucumcari, but they don’t have Garcia’s.
We’re warming up something in the microwave.
I’ll eat Chili Relleno for you.
See you at 3:00 tomorrow.

Cherry and Coco stand with astronomy enthusiasts and their telescope.
Eating ice cream and annoying her sister are Coco's favorite pastimes.
The girls enjoyed an after dinner ride at Po Pos.
Last weekend, we made an overnight camping trip to Lost Maples State Park. We had fun hiking and stargazing.
We took the path to the ponds.
Coco enjoyed the creek.
Cherry took some pictures.
Lilly studied her shadow in the water.
We saw a cardinal . . .
. . . and lots of other birds.
It was a terrific weekend. It was great to be away from the city.
