Howdy from Houston

Where else can you get a dinner for $7.69? Texas is like another country!!

I love watching Spanish speaking channels and brushing up on my Espanol!!

This Spanish show is "muy interesante."

Yo quiero Texas!!

Miss Mississippi

Kate likes to relax as she waits for her dinner.

Kate's at her Uncle Phil and Aunt Christine's house. She also needs entertainment before she can eat.

No meal can really get started with out a drink. Kate has found a love of water glasses of any size or variety and she eagerly grabs them and chomps the lip while sipping water.

And no great meal is complete without the best of friends like Grandma Bomgaars.
What a great time.

Mommy thought it was so funny to see me talking to myself and laughing at myself in the mirror that she had to run downstairs to get her camera. I don't know why she thinks it is so funny. I'm just enjoying the best view from my crib. Who wouldn't want to look at this face first thing in the morning??

East Roaring Flight

Today we shot more video with the crews and we drove out to the site of the "East Roaring" wildfire. I had to get suited up in a flight suite, gloves, helmet, and glasses for the helicopter flight to "recon" the fire with the wildfire incident leadership.

The fire is named for the "Roaring" river nearby. It was started by lightning and now covers thousands of acres. Here is a picture of the tough terrain the crews are dealing with.

It's only about 30% contained at this point. About 150 firefighters are on the ground, fighting along the fire line, calling in air support with helicopter loads of water, and our military aircraft coming in with huge loads if fire retardant slurry.

Unfortunately for this blog, I was shooting video while we were on top of the fire. It was pretty neat to see, and I could see fire fighters working on the ground. The helicopter also could get really low.
