One thing Amarillo is known for, Cadillac Ranch. We hadn't been yet, but Brian wanted to get out of the house yesterday after we had been inside watching conference all day. So we took the kids to the "ranch". Luckily we had a few cans of spray paint--the kids were excited! Brian, of course, had the best looking graffiti. He really is so creative. I think the kids would have stayed longer, they were having a great time, but the wind was blowing and making it a bit chilly. So we were there for about 30 minutes. Enough to make our mark, just to have someone come along today and cover it up. The story behind the ranch...there is a wealthy eccentric man here in Amarillo who loves unique art and he owned some land and for 10 years buried a Cadillac in the ground each year. He has signs all over Amarillo that look like regular road signs but say weird things. There is one that says something like "I am a scrappy fighter". Seriously really random, but they make you smile. Maybe that was his idea. If so, I like it. Anyway, here are some pictures from our few minutes at the Ranch.
Brian helped Kash with his and then did his big "B".
All the cars at the ranch.
Sally freezing by her golden name--she was SO excited we had gold paint!
My two boys who think anarchy is really cool right now--they have no idea--oh to be innocent!

How fun! I took the kids last summer to see the ranch, but we didn't have any spray paint with us. We'll have to go back better prepared sometime.
Looks like the kids had a bawl! It's so flat there! Chris served his mission in Oklahoma, and says he missed the mountains big time! On the bright side, he says the spring time storms are awesome. Make sure you take lots of pictures of them, and definately get up on your roof when the tornado sirens go off, all the Elders do, so you'll be in good company! ;)
That looks like so much fun! Where is your signature or picture? I love that Sally was excited about having gold spray paint, such a cute girl!
I love your blog, and can't believe how big your kids have gotten. They're all so gorgeous! I was doing a little blog surfing from Tiff's blog. Hope you guys are liking Texas, you seem really happy.

Anarchy IS really cool! It just get kind of hard to manage after a while.
