Wednesday -- On the way to Dinosaur Valley State Park

The grandkids, Matthew and Aubrey, slept over on Tuesday night, and early Wednesday morning, we headed out to Glen Rose, TX. It was the first trip in the Bus for the kids......... on our Lake Texana trip, they rode in the car with Grammie. They liked sitting high up and watching the big trucks go by.......... especially on the interstate when they were in the lane right next to the Bus. Here they are in the Bus.......... still in their PJ's!!


On the way, we stopped by the Cabela's store in Buda, TX, which is on IH35 just below Austin, TX. Matthew had remembered being there about a year ago, and called it a zoo, because they have all of the setups of wild animals in natural environments, as well as a very nice sized aquarium. Here are some pictures of them looking at the displays:

Here they are amazed at the fish swimming in the aquarium:

After Cabela's, we hit a McDonald's for lunch (never again......... I got re-acquainted with the reason that I only eat breakfast there!!), and then drove toward Glen Rose. We had already planned to spend Wednesday night at the Lake Cleburne State Park in Cleburne, TX, so that is where we stopped in the evening. They had a nice playground, and the kids burned off some energy and had a good time:
