Visiting Abilene

We came to Abilene to visit a little bit with Mimi before the move. On our first night in town, Mimi took a tumble and skinned up her arm pretty good. We went to a couple of doctors appointments on Monday and she checked out just fine.
On Tuesday, we decided to go to Frontier Texas. It is a local museum that highlights the ways of life over 100 years on the Texas Frontier. The kids really enjoyed the displays. It was all very high tech.
We learned about the hardships for not only the native Indians, but the white settlers and soldiers as well. Here are a few pictures from inside the exhibits......
After visiting Frontier Texas, we went to another museum that showed the different steps in creating pop up books. It was an interesting, educational experience......(They would not allow cameras)
If you are in Abilene, check both exhibits out!
It is going to be more than difficult to leave Mimi behind. We are looking forward to having her move in with us when we come back. (She has ALMOST agreed to it!!!!!!)
