Family Outing to Lubbock

This is what the drive is like all the way to Lubbock...every once in awhile we will come across a dairy farm.

After 6 months of being here (when I realized that we had already been here that long my jaw hit the ground) we went on our 1st real family outing to explore the town of Lubbock.  You are probably thinking, "Are you kidding me?  What have you guys been doing?"  To be honest when I realize that we hadn't done something like this yet I thought the same thing.  To our defense we have been settling, in getting use to all of the new things around us and Paul has been working, working , working, oh wait have I told you yet that he has been working?!?!?!  Lubbock is 88 miles from us and is considered that "Big Town."  It is about 50,000 people bigger than Salem so it is more what we are use to.  I will let you all in on a little secret here; our town (about 40,000 people) is considered the "Big Town" in this area.....SCARY!

This is what Sydnee did to keep herself entertained on the trip there....beautiful isn't she?

Trent wouldn't let Sydnee get a picture of him so here is a picture of him taking a picture of her.  He totally gets his stubbornness from his father. Hehehehe

When we got to Lubbock we drove around just to see what kind of stores they had.  then had some great chinese food and headed to the mall.
