Glen Rose, Texas

I grew up in Stephenville, Texas. Stephenville is about 45 minutes away from Glen Rose. Glen Rose has a river and dinosaur tracks. When I was in the Stephenville High School student council, we went to Glen Rose one day for fun. I wasn't the most popular person in the student council so I don't remember it being too fun for me. The really cool kids all hung out together. I forget who I hung out with. Another time that I went to Glen Rose, I was walking along the river and the bottom seemed to be all one rock. The water was really shallow - not more than one foot deep. All the algae growing on that rock made it slippery. I was walking, and then I fell. My legs went up in front of me, my head went back, I was in there air, and then I was in the water. The rock hurt my head. That is another memory of Glen Rose, Texas. There is a picture that we have of my grandmother sitting at the river in Glen Rose. She already had Alzheimer's disease at that point in her life. She was in the "mean" stage of the disease - always trying to hit me when I got too close to her because she didn't know who I was. There are also a lot of historical markers in Glen Rose - I had to do a historical marker project in 7th grade for Texas history class. I made a 102 on the project.

I think my friends have decided that we are going to meet in Glen Rose, Texas this summer. I am looking forward to making some great memories there June 29th through July 4th.

You may not have been the most popular person within student council, but if you were on student council, HELLO, you were popular. Didn't you end up being class prez? Uh, yeah. You were popular.

We're looking forward to Glen Rose, too!
