Michael had a 3 day weekend from school and Fred was working out of town and needed clean clothes...A person has gotta have clean clothes right? So I found someone to care for the animals, (thank you Mimi) and Michael and I headed out Saturday morning to Laredo...Deep South Texas. Michael is thinking hotel pool, me I'm thinking road trip...

Somewhere around 3 rivers (I think)...Beautiful country.Please excuse the reflections I was taking photos through the windshield, ekk...
~
Entering McMullen County...Texas roads gotta love them and I do.~ 
I stopped and we played tourists in Freer Texas...We've drove by this rattle snake hundreds of times but this time I decided to stop for photos. I think everyone in town slowed down to see what we were doing, lol...Michael did not want to go up near it, he did NOT like it one bit. But I finally convinced him it was okay so then he started checking it out... I sure wish when these towns set up items like this they'd take a look back behind it and try for something a little more photogenic. I was laughing too as it looks like somebody at one time or another tried to cut the rattle off this snake, ouch! We've never been to Freer's rattle snake roundup, maybe we should check it out sometime! ~ 
I finally got him to sit down but he sure wasn't going to turn his back on that snake...I also knew that seat was going to be hot, it was 91 degrees at the time, and I knew he wasn't going to sit for long.... ~
Yowsers MOM!! My rear is burning up!! OUCH!! Told you he wasn't going to sit for long...Now that we stretched our legs time to get back on the road...
Pump Jack, a familiar site along Texas roads...
These cows were fat and I'm not sure what they were grazing on cause it wasn't green, but they were going to town and seemed to be loving it...
Finally, almost there...I love seeing Texas and driving the roads. But I really like it when someone else is driving so I can watch the country side and take photos and if the need arises take a nap too...

We have arrived, Hola Laredo! About this time Michael is ready to get out of the truck and so am I...he's also telling me to put the camera down and drive, lol...
And after unpacking, calling Fred to tell him we made it, we headed to the pool to cool off and recharge our batteries...The water was perfect!

Loved the snake photos...I've spent a lot of time around Freer and that building in the background just may be the most photgenic thing in town. You really should check out the roundup, it's pretty cool. The one in San Patricio is neat too.
