Go Hookem' Horns!

Update on the camp out......We were all ready for the camp out, the girls were SO excited, the car was packed. Then Angie called and said her car wouldn't start again. So Doug went down to see if we could jump it and it started after a few times of trying. We decided it would be best to just take it down to the dealership and have them check out the battery or figure out what was wrong. (if you read her post from the other day...the same thing happened then). You would think a car that is not even a year old would be problem free. Anyways, we loaded everything back into my car and decided it would be better to take mine to the campout just to be safe. We got to the dealership around 4:45pm, they checked it out put a new battery in it and Greg showed up shortly after and told us to go. So we took the girls and left them with Maryn and the three boys. The girls were STARVING and not very happy because of it and they all said they wanted Subway. Angie and I would have chosen a different place, but whatever they were hungry and that would be quick and easy....so we thought.

We got to Subway to find two very interesting characters working. One had extremely long hair, the other had huge holes in his ears. And the bread inside the store (I believe parmasagne smelled rather gross) The line ended up being painfully long and all we could think was we were going to be putting up a tent in the dark if we didn't get out of the city soon!

We left the parking lot reaking of nasty bread and it was sprinkling a little--but no worries we were leaving right? Well, as we headed out the direction of the campout it began to rain even harder. Plus it was 6:30 before we got on the highway out of the city. We got a hold of someone we knew would be out there and she said DON'T COME!! It is raining quite a bit and we are all drenched. Okay so we were in a bit of a dilema. Remember we had been promising these girls for a VERY long time we were going camping and put it off for the past 4 years living here. However, do we want to put up a tent in the rain, get muddy, have wet junk all for 12 hours?? We made an executive decision and turned the car around. Well, the were just heart broken and sobing the whole way. "We will never get to go camping, its not fair!" Angie and I felt terrible, but after a bit of comforting we told them we would get a movie and they could sleep on the floor in the front room. So we did just that. We ended up stoping off at Hobby Lobby (my all time FAVORITE craft store) got the girls a craft and came home. So instead of camping we had a Pink Party. Did a pink craft, had our pink pj's on, and painted pink toes. Really nothing as good as a campout, but better than nothing.

Today is a huge college game the UT/Ohio State. #1 against #2. Doug and Greg have been planning a while to attend this. They were invited to a tailgate party which has bbq, and food galore with 800 people expected to attend all paid for by the Orthopedic Drug Rep. Needless to say, they were like two women going shopping for 12 hours. Very giddy and excited about their "mens night out" One of there other colleagues (Russell) went along as well. I would love to be a fly on the wall there seeing all those guys drinking (well except for the three mormons) and having a good time. But, neither one of them would take the camera.

There they go......I am not even expecting Doug to get home until 2am. The game doesn't start until 7pm and the traffic in Austin I am sure will be terrible. Angie and I decided we got robbed of our fun since the campout didn't work out. I guess that means we should plan another trip. Ha Ha. I am glad they went, because I think they too need a day of fun to get out and play.
