Landing in El Paso. |
 |
|
 |
We
waited by the elevator. |
|
Melissa handled two boys, two roller bags with car seats
and a stroller without any sleep (or help)!
After checking in to the hotel, we went all over El Paso
looking at houses; she picked the third one. |
 |
|
 |
Friday morning we found a park near their "new
home". Aidan started playing in the sand alone, but
soon had company. |
|
| He
played with this little girl for a few minutes! |
 |
|
 |
After a lot of sliding on the slides, Lucas
adapted a new family!! He sat there for at least 5
minutes. |
|
Melissa made two quick contacts with mothers in
the area. Dorothy (on left in this picture) has parents
that live in Bandera at the Flying-L!!!! She grew up in
Brownsville and went to the same high school that Chris
went to. In this small group there were two Aidans and
two Lucas.
|
 |
SMALL WORLD!
|
|
Panorama from the park near "the house". |
|
 |
A
second park was found within a few blocks of the house.
The sand was dry; much of it came home in pants...... |
|
|
...and hair! |
 |
|
 |
There
were swings, slides, rope climbing and one very large
rock to climb. |
|
|
That is HIGH! |
 |
|
 |
Melissa got the boys a cool blow-up trampoline
for the house, but it was a real hit in the hotel. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
A BIG
rattlesnake at the Outlet Mall close to the house. |
|
 |
Lucas is definitely not
shy! |
|
|
First car date! |
 |
|
 |
Lucas
& Aidan on Mimi & Grandpas bed in the trailer. We
stopped by after the outlet mall so Melissa could check
email. |
|
|
|
 |
A very special kiss! |
|
|
Aidan & Mimi before school registration.
It was a rough day for Aidan. |
 |
|
 |
Mimi
got a hug (and chip) from Lucas. Mimi & Grandpa
left on Monday; it was very sad, but had to happen some
time. |
|
|
After we got home, Mimi read a Thomas book to
Lucas using Skype. |
