Our adventurous trip to Texas

This is what we woke up to the first morning of the ice storm. Luckily there was a truck between us and the downed power lines. The night before we spent in a rest area after driving through a blinding snowstorm. But it is warm in Texas!!!!
This was the devastation that we came upon once leaving the Pilot Truck Stop/Gas Station. There still was no power but luckily a trucker gave us enough diesel to get out of the area. Of course the first gas station we came to was out of fuel but we made it to a small town away from the interstate and we were on our way.

On the edge of the pyramid...it's a long way down.

Riding the horses

Pick a horse; any horse! They all seem quite willing don't they?
Monique is riding Ninka (which I probably haven't spelled correctly).
Sonja is on Viola, who is the mother of all the other horses on Age and Marie's farm.
Tegan is on Sybil (who I called un-civil) but of course she was no problem for Tegan.
This looked like a traffic jam with horses, but it actually wasn't!
Now it was Samantha's turn to ride under the guidance of her two aunts.
This is serious business for a little girl (who was loving every minute of it).
