Cattleman's Steakhouse

After church today, we drove about 45 minutes out to a ranch in Fabens, Texas for lunch. A very popular restaurant is out there and we've always wanted to go. So, we decided to take my grandparents there for the afternoon.

Not only is it a restaurant, but there is a petting zoo, a hayride, and movie sets, too! We were there for like 5 hours! But, it was a lot of fun. Flat Lucy liked the peacocks and the longhorns. My parents liked the steak, but their favorite was the apple pie. It might be worth driving back out there one of these days for another slice :)

Veteran's Day

For Veteran's Day there were a lot of restaurants around town offering veteran's free dinners and things. We chose to go to Outback Steakhouse because they have a Gluten Free menu and both my sister and I are allergic to gluten. Plus, they were honoring veteran's with a free blooming onion and drink.

We all got dressed up fancy to eat and it was a lot of fun. Flat Lucy thought it was funny because when we left, we went through the Krispy Kreme drive-thru because they were honoring veteran's with free donuts. We couldn't pass that up!

My grandparents enjoyed hanging out with Flat Lucy... they said she has very good table manners :)

More Visitors

My grandparents came to visit us from Washington DC this week. They have met Lucy before and thought it was fun to see Flat Lucy was visiting us. My grandma took us shopping A LOT and we got lots of new things. We also got to go out to eat a lot.

We played a lot of games, including Pictionary. It was very funny. My grandpa is not very good at drawing.

I like it when my grandma and grandpa come to visit :) They always like to have fun!

Freedom Crossing

Today was the Grand Opening of Freedom Crossing - a huge PX with all sorts of shops and places to eat. It's the first of its kind on any military installation, so it was a pretty big deal. They even opened up a huge movie theater with about 15 screens!! My parents weren't too excited about that because it costs more money.

There was a lot going on for the Grand Opening. The Budweiser Clydesdale Horses came and we got our picture with them before they had to leave. I've seen them before while we lived in Missouri, so it was fun to see them again. Flat Lucy sure looked tiny compared to those giant horses!!

They had a special fair for the kids today, too! They had face painting and a clown making animal balloons. The Disney Princesses came... Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White!! Spiderman was there, too! We got our pictures with all of them.

I think Flat Lucy's favorite part was when a group of guys came out and started break dancing :)

Cheerleading!!

I have been cheering for the Team Bliss Titans for the past 2 years. We had pictures today, so I got to get all dressed up in my uniform!! Flat Lucy got to come along and see all of the girls in their's, too! We didn't actually do any cheering, so we'll have to make sure we bring Flat Lucy to our competition towards the end of the month. She'll love that!!

Halloween

We were all so excited about Halloween. Flat Lucy stayed home with my mom and helped her pass out candy while my dad took Caitlin and I trick-or-treating. It was Caitlin's first year to go, she stayed home with my mom last year. I was happy that Flat Lucy was around to keep my mom company.

We came home with LOTS of candy. Flat Lucy helped me count it all, we had over 200 pieces. WOW! We only ate a little bit before going to bed :)
