We loaded up in the car and headed to Texas to meet our Australian FB friends, Mark and Wendy, pawrents of Penny and the Count.

Of course, the real Penny and the Count were unable to attend because of quarantine laws so the fauxs came in their place.

We played great games with the pigs and ‘Uncle Mark’.

Wendy fixed us some cheese. Later all the pawrents went to dinner and we stayed at the hotel.  They had a lot of fun at one of Mom’s favorite Texas restaurants called Pappadeaux.  It’s a Cajun/seafood place.  Dad loves Cajun food; Mom prefers the seafood and Mark and Wendy like to try new places so it was an ideal evening.

Mark, Wendy and the fauxs brought us a gift package from Australia too.  It had a book about Australia, a Cadbury chocolate bar (Mom already ate it), a little Koala bear that has “I Love Australia” on it, a fridge magnet shaped like the continent, a cold drink holder and a Hamish McBeth Scottie.  How neat is that!  It was great learning things about another country.

Texas proved to be a lot of fun. ~ Indy and Lucy
