A Very Short Vacation

We decided to go visit Saul's parents this last weekend. We left about 1:00PM on Saturday and ate in Granbury for lunch at Babe's. It was really good. We then headed up to Valley View, TX where his parents live. The kids did really well traveling. We were about 5 minutes from my in-laws house when 2 vehicles in front of us had a tire blow out and a second tire totaly broke off. He started swirving and the vehicle behind that, which was between us and the swirving vehicle slammed on their brakes and started to scream. I was sure we were going to have a wreak. The truck fianlly went off the road trying to not flip. We pulled off and made sure he was ok and helped him find the tires that came flying off. Finally the police and fire trucks got there and then we left still a little shakin up.
We finally made it to my in-laws and visited a little while. Saul and I had already planned on having 'a date'. Saul's mom had agreed to watching the kids so we could go. It had been almost 2 years since we had 'a date'. We went to the movies and saw EAGLE EYE. Come to find out that Saul's mom had taken the kids to Madagascar 2 at the same movie theater. We didn't know til we got back to their house. We visted a little bit longer and then checked in to the motel about 11:30 Saturday night. We were all exhausted and ready to just fall into bed.
We awoke Sunday morning got dressed and went to church with where Saul's dad preaches. After chirch we ate lunch at a Mexican resturant in Sanger. It was really good. We left straight from there and headed down the road and decided to go to Cabela's. We had never been there and really wanted to see it. The place was huge with alot of stuffed dead animals, guns, fishing gear, camping gear and even real fish. Oh did I say guns. I have never seen that many guns in my life. We all really enjoyed it. I had wished I had brought my camerea. We left and then headed down the road and ended up in Itasca, TX. We drove around a long time just trying to waste time so we could go to church that night. We went to church and and then headed home fianlly! Got back about 9:00 PM Sunday night and was glad to be home. We wished we would have had more time, but the kids had school on Monday. Maybe sometime soon we can again. It was nice to get away from the normal for a day or two.
