Cotton Pickin

Since moving South 17 years ago I have always been fascinated with cotton fields. The first time I saw one was on a road trip to New Mexico with dad. I made him pull over so I could "pick cotton". Since then I have always enjoyed seeing the cotton fields when we travel. Sounds silly I know but it's just not something you see in the NW. Davis,when you were 4 or 5 we had to stop and "pick cotton", and on a recent trip to Texas we had to stop and "pick cotton"AGAIN, for Sophie's sake. Sophie I knew you would be excited, and Davis I knew you wouldn't stay in the car for too long, thanks for joining us! I know you were just stretching your legs. Dad, thanks for always cheerfully tolerating my strange requests. So here you have it a few "cotton pickin" pics

I just noticed that you teach in Mustang? That's where I grew up, and my mom is a teacher in Mustang. She teaches Kindergarten. She's been a teaching in Mustang for 23 years.
