Some of the spirng time wild flowers and local trips and leaving for the summer up through Iowa.

A barrel wagon in one of the fields we passed.

Local wild flowers

Feels like CA again- Mansfield TX finally has an IN and Out.

Magnolia's at our daughter in laws in Arlington TX


A 10th birthday cake for Pamela

During the storm

after the storm

an old barn and what happens below when not taken care of


The long road leads eventually to MN


Rush hour traffic - never this light in CA after an accident

So did the train turn where it should not have? This is S OK.

Local flowers above and below


Branson MO things to see.


This is the seat for the above ride- a big sling shot
                                 
You could ride in the ball down the chute--key word is YOU not me. LOL


This water tower was out the rear of the coach.

Remi trying out Bil's new hat. For a Canadian he would make a good looking Texan.

Toni looking at the dam and lake in Branson.

Hollister was done to look like an English town


Hollister was est in 1910 

lots of flooding as we headed toward MN



I think he built it himself. He was in a long line of motorcycles.

A rather large roller coaster

a couple of interesting things along the way.


our campground in Osceola IA -- it was at the casino below

One of the old buildings in town and the signage on the side of it.



Part of the building had been taken out and a little garden added.

A gravel truck on the rails

The casino was actually floating. You could see inside the walls and how it shifts with the rise of the lake.


Some one has too much time on their hands. (and orange paint)
One of the many neat old barns

more wild flowers around TX and along the way



No grouping of photos is complete without critters.



Even over sized phony critters.


This squirrel kept at it till he got over my pan to the seeds.
