Texas '09 Vacation... The End of the Road

Well, my mom wondered why I stopped posting. The reason is because you can only take so many pictures of bluegills and catfish, which is about all Liam wants to do. We have though, over the past few days seen some interesting Texas wildlife. Cathy and Amy found an interesting box turtle that we kept for a while and then let go. Liam didn't quite understand why we couldn't take it on the airplane... oh well.

We also had the opportunity to go out to Mt. Pleasant, TX to see the world's tallest horse. Radar (the brown one) stands 6'7" at his shoulder. It is kind of hard to see with the perspective of us standing a little bit away. We didn't want to turn our backs on him to take a picture lest he step on our feet. His hooves were the size of dinner plates so you didn't want to get stepped on. You could go right up to them and pet them and feed them; you just didn't want to get stepped on. Goliath is the black one and he is the second tallest. Although... there is a claim that there is a taller one now in another part of TX. I will have to wait for Guinness confirmation before I change my blog. Liam did swell up like a balloon after touching the horses since he is rather allergic to them. He did survive though.

Tonight we will watch fireworks on the lake and then be leaving for home tomorrow.
