Last week Jacob had to inspect a building at the McDonald Observatory in Ft. Davis. So the boys and I tagged along (Lucy stayed @ Gasthaus Swain). West Texas is beautiful, and the Davis mountains make Ft. Davis an oasis in a flat land. I always forget how big the sky really is out there (notice the huge shadows that some of the clouds leave on the ground). We stayed in an awesome hotel that was built in 1912, and it had the most lush garden! While Jake worked, the boys and I did some great hiking. We saw some really beautiful sights, and the best part is they got to experience a West Texas tradition...they caught a Horny Toad!! I can remember Melanie and I catching them all the time in Midland, and it was neat to see how excited the boys were at catching one on their own.
