So what have we been doing so far? Well apart from getting on each others nerves :) the week has looked like this....
Saturday
A friend invited us round for a grill (BBQ to us Scots) by the pool! We arrived and were greeted with a mountain of food, burgers, dogs, home made queso, fresh brownies, BBQ beans etc etc Oh and not to forget some cold beer!
We sat by the pool and chilled while David (aka Damien for his wee devil like persona :)) and Shaun (aka professor plum for his know it all attitude, wonder where he gets that from!) played in the pool, taking it in turns to jump in the cold and hot parts of the pool! David has the voice of an old man so the whole complex heard him shouting "it's HOT in here" :)
After this we went to a local park which has bronze statues of cowboys and cattle to mark where the cattle runs passed through Dallas years ago. (yes gran this is the place where you were hanging on the cowboy with dreamy eyes!) (oh and yes Stu you this is where you found pleasure in sticking you head between the cows legs, classic picture!)
The boys seemed to have fun climbing where they shouldn't have been climbing but I did have a worrying moment. David seemed to have a fixation with kissing on the cattle "underparts" I was slightly relieved to find out he thought they were lady cows and that he wanted to see their udders :)
Sunday
We got up on Sunday and toddled along to the Texas State Fair( http://www.bigtex.com/ ). Now this is something to behold for the non American, even the non Texans actually! It's like Bishy day on steroids( http://www.bishoptonday.com/index.php ), you have to check it out. We went on the rides, ate some weird southern food, if you get the chance you have to try corn dogs they are brilliant!!( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_dog ) and all in all had good old family fun. Not to forget spending a fortune.....
Well more to come on the rest of the week!
