Christmas with Josh and family

Since we were working at the Yogi Bear Jellystone Park in Waller, Texas during 2014 through the middle of 2015, we ended up spending part of December there. We were only open on weekends, and set up to have Santa Claus and Yogi Bear sitting in the activity center where the children would come to sit on Santa's lap and talk to Yogi. After we closed for the rest of the winter, we went to Houston to spend Christmas with our family. Jacklyn & Joe flew in from Florida, and Jim and I drove down, leaving the RV at Jellystone. Josh & Karen live about 1-1/2 hours from Jellystone, so it's not a bad drive.

We were glad when the season at Jellystone ended. Halloween was five weekends of hard work with no break between that and the start of Christmas weekends. We were glad when it was all over and we were able to get away to visit with our family in Houston.

As always, our weekend with family ended too soon and Jacklyn and Joe flew back to Florida, and Jim and I drove back to Waller. During our week there we did go to Galveston Island to the Offshore Drilling Museum.
