Amarillo, Texas

 We drove a lot of our trip on Historic Route 66, which the boys thought was great.  Josh had downloaded the movie Cars onto their iPads and they watch it as we drove it.  Pretty great.  Amarillo, Texas was awesome.  First time the boys had been to Texas (Josh and I lived in Texas for a summer when we were expecting Palmer).  We could't pass up taking a picture of this huge cowboy and some cadillacs.
 When I found out about this art piece where the kids could spray paint old Cadillac cars that had been stuck into the dirt during the 60's...there is no way I was going to pass that up.  We woke up and headed to the store and each of the boys picked out a color of spray paint.  Palmer picked florescent pink, Lincoln red, Hunter florescent yellow and McKay picked gold.

 It was cold, muddy and a little rainy, but the boys had so much fun!  These cars were more paint than metal after decades of being painted.
 That gold ended up being the color that was most visible.














 I have a feeling that any of the boys' art wasn't going to stay there that long...




 This was such a unique experience, I love stuff like this!!  We had a great time.
