We met the Oordt family for breakfast yesterday. As it turns out, it was Mark and Ruth's 20th anniversary and it has been that long since we were last here. Kipp was the best man in their wedding. They took us to visit the Alamo. The story reminded me of the freedom fighter story of Bunker Hill in Boston--75 volunteers holding off thousands of soldiers, losing, and inspiring others to carry on and win the war.
We spent the afternoon staying cool and swimming in a local pool. The kids are enthralled with an outdoor pool that's warm! It doesn't take long to dry off in 105 degrees. Great Italian dining at the Oordt house. Mark is a doctor in the Air Force and the family recently returned from Italy.

We see a lot of these.
Remember the Alamo!
