catch up

Well I'm finally trying to get caught up on posting things from our summer in TX!

Gator Jack's

There is this little sandwich shop in Rigby. It has become one of our favorite places to eat. They initially only served lunch but now they serve breakfast anytime of the day. They make a killer breakfast burrito that Jay just can't seem to get enough of. And we can't forgot the Gator Bites with Gator Sauce. They are absolutely the best tators around.

Halloween Fun

We celebrated Halloween in Ririe this year including activities of hay rides, spook alley and trunk or treating. The proceeds went to a local family that lost their home in a fire. This made trick or treating way to convenient this year.

I don't think I have ever seen so many cars lined up on main street

Remember the Alamo

The Riverwalk

We made a trip to San Antonio and got to walk along the Riverwalk. I really enjoyed this as it was so beautiful. Sykes came with us and it was interesting to watch how people reacted to him.

we ate at this Mexican restaurant with all the colorful umbrellas

The Stockyards

I just love going to the Fort Worth Stockyards. I was so excited when I saw the Texan Cadillac. I just had to jump in and get my picture taken. We really enjoyed watching the armadillo races. I tried to talk Jay into participating but he kept refusing. The race consisted of getting on your hands and knees and blowing on the armadillo's tail to get him going. The winner got a can of Armadillo Milk. We only got to stay for about 20 minutes and then had to get back to work.

The Schlitterbahn

So we finally got to go to The Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels, TX while it was open. The first trip we made we found out that the park was only open on weekends. We lucked out cuz the weather was perfect (not too hot or humid). Jay and I enjoyed the lazy river. It had good sized waves and we spent a couple hours just letting the waves push us around. We enjoyed the other rides but it was a lot of work carrying your tube clear to the top of the ride. By the time we got to the top we were out of breath.
