The Austin Taylors

 Drinking wine on the porch of the Lympia Hotel in Fort Davis.

 One of the only times that we could get together and have adult conversation with Nathan's brother and Sister-in-law Leslie.  Nathan's oldest niece watched the kids while we had dinner on the porch of the hotel Lympia's restaurant.

 Star Party at Mc Donald Observatory near Fort Davis.  Needless to say Hannah did not make it to midnight.

 We refered to Hannah as "lion bait" while in Big Bend since we kidded with her about using her for bait to find a lion.  We never saw a lion or a bear :(

 This is the view from our hotel room at the Chisos Lodge located in the Chisos Basin inside Big Bend National Park.

 The kids checking out a canyon on the way to our drive to Santa Elena Canyon.

 The pool at the Hotel Lympia in Fort Davis was a welcomed site.  Even though the temperatures got down into the high 50s at night.  The days got into the upper 80s and the water was refreshingly cool.

 The Virginia Taylors and the Austin Taylors take a few minutes to pose for a picture at the entrance to the Observatory.
