Rodeo San Antonio













Judd had the weekend free so we decided to take advantage of it and take the kids to the rodeo. Dax was so excited. He wore his cowboy cloths all day. He kept asking if it was time to go to the "Stereo or Radio" it was really cute. We went with the Stuarts, some close family friends. Everyone kept staring at Dax and saying how cute he was in his outfit. They played in the inflatble playground. They had fun in the petting zoo. Annabelle kept trying to shove straw in the goats mouth. She also had to make sure she touched every animal in there. Dax's favorite animal was the deer, he was able to see and touch it up close. Maybe he will rethink this whole hunting thing. We took both of the kids on a couple rides. Dax said he had fun with his girlfriend Kate. Annabelle didn't really meet any height requirerments but one of the rids worker let her on anyways. She love it and wanted to do more rides. Then we went to the Rodeo. I have never seen anything like it. The opening had fireworks and lasers. It was a great show. Judd love the guy who had 6 one ton horses that he steered while standing on the back of two of them. I thought the mutton raceing was funny, there were these kids Dax's age that would try to hold on to a sheep while it ran around the statium. Dax loved the whole thing. We left before the concert because the kids were really tired. It was a great evening.

South Texas White Bass Run '08










Well, inbetween calls, I was invited to partake in the South Texas White Bass Run down near Choke Canyon and 3 Rivers. We arrived just before 7:00 PM, motored out about 100m under a bridge, and over the next 4 hours pulled in 44 white bass and 1 white drum--best fishin' day I've ever had...and white bass is mighty tasty too..kids got a kick out of seeing what fish look like prior to becoming fillets...
