Amarillo by morning.................

panorama of the Palo Duro Canyone

This was our beautiful sight for the day.  This is Palo Duro Canyon, 20 miles south of Amarillo TX.  What an absolutely beautiful place to visit! If you ever have a chance to see the "mini Grand Canyon", I implore you to go!  We drove all the way through the public access roads in the canyon and had fun hiking and climbing the beautiful rocks.  The kids did the Junior Ranger program and each recieved a badge when their work was accomplished.  This is something that I and they as well want to do at every park during our trip.  

Last night Rory and I went to dinner at the Big Texan.  It was good to get a little time to ourselves and we got to enjoy a great steak together!  No we did not do the challenge of eating a 72 OZ steak Kyle Nagy!

We are currently staying at the Amarillo RV Ranch.  It's OK, we have stayed at much better.   They do have an indoor swimming pool that the kids are going to try out after dinner.  Tomorrow we are heading out to the Cadillac Ranch to tag our names on the cars then off to Albuquerque!  Below are some more of the pics today of the canyon. I love being a Daddy to these beautiful faces and a husband to my beloved wife! They will always remember how much we have given to them of ourselves and there is nothing greater than I want for them than to grow in the Lord.  Pray this trip is a gigantic leap forward in their faith to the Lord and we lead them in wisdom. We are loving the trip so far!
