Monahans

Wednesday March 16, 2011

We got up early again, ate breakfast, then hit the road.  We drove south through Pecos, TX then went to Monahans Sandhills State Park.  We bought two "sleds" then found a picnic table.  We "sled" around for a while.  It was not as easy as it looked. In fact, it didn't work very well but the kids were troopers and the sleds will be a blast when it's icy again.
















We ate our picnic then got back on the road.

Just outside of Odessa, TX, we stopped, very briefly at the Crater Museum.  It's the sight of the second largest crater to ever hit Texas.  There wasn't much to see but we went ahead and got out of the car and took the very short hike.  The signs said to stay on the path because the snakes were alive and active.  That freaked the kids out a bit.

We got back in the car and drove to Midland.  We checked into our Holiday Inn Express (a suite this time!) and got cleaned up.



Then we went across the highway to a bowling alley where we FINALLY got to bowl for the first time ever.  The kids had a blast.  They put the bumpers on the lane for us and even had a ramp for the kids to use.

We had dinner at Olive Garden.  Ryan was so excited because she got to drink her chocolate milk in a wine glass.  We then went to Swenson's for ice cream and headed back to the hotel.  We all watched "Meet the Robinsons" then went to bed.

This was another great day!
