Dallas Weekend

Liza and her two oldest kids were raising money for the psoriasis walk in Dallas and I joined their team and we made a really fun weekend of it. Liza drove down Friday afternoon and we left Lubbock after I got off of work and were at our hotel by about 11 that night. We got up around 7:30 Saturday morning and went to the walk. It was fun and Liza won about $700 in prizes for raising just over $600 (pretty good deal). She was nice enough to share some of the loot with me and for that I am very grateful! We were very speedy 5k-ers so we were finished late morning and I decided it would be fun to go to Six Flags, and oddly enough, Jake and Riley thought that would probably be pretty fun too. We all agreed that it was the best/most tiring day EVER! Thanks guys for a really fun time!
This is a picture of part of the park that we were walking around, it was very beautiful.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders came to sign autographs and encourage other pretty girls to become cheerleaders too (see Liza's blog for story)

Riley decided 5k was a little much and rode for quite a while, I think Liza logged at least a mile with 50 or 60 extra pounds in tow.
After that long, hard "walking", Riley had to refuel with chocolate donuts

I'm not sure...but I thiiiink that someone is a little excited here

There must not be too many to choose from because this was a horrible ride! I actually have bruises from the bouncing and jerking. My ponytail came out also, it's no wonder there was not a line.

We did get to see Bugs Bunny before leaving which was pretty great!
It was the "Best of Texas" weekend at Six Flags and as you walked in there was this really old couple singing old country tunes and the kids really enjoyed them and they enjoyed the kids as well and sang most of a Johnny Cash song per Jake's request. We really had the Best Day Ever!
Thanks Guys!!!!!!
