For our birthdays and anniversary, the girls and their families had gotten tickets to the "All you can eat" section at the Texas Rangers baseball game. A weekend of fun in Texas was planned for all of us!
Grandpop, Jett and I left a day early for our weekend in Texas.
The Donut Palace in Davis was our breakfast stop.
Yum! Yum!

Dennard's Western Store
Mel had earned points during last year's horse show and received a gift card to Dennard's.
It was time to use it.

Candlelite Inn
There is quite a story about the Candlelite Inn for Mel and I.
43 years ago on our honeymoon, Mel and I ate at the Candlelite Inn in Arlington, Texas. We had eaten there a few times since then. A couple of years ago we stopped to eat there and it was closed. We assumed they had gone out of business after all those years. By chance Mel suggested we drive by just to check it ou once again. Would you believe they were open for business! What had happened was they totally remodeled the restaurant, but kept the same decor as it was 43 years ago!
Anyone remember these? Juke boxes at your table!

Emma's birthday!
Hard to believe she is 11 years old!
Family meeting for the day's agenda
The decision was that the girls would go shopping and the guys would tour Globe Life Park, baseball stadium of Texas Rangers. Afterwards the guys would meet us at the mall for lunch at Chuys.

Since the stores were not open yet, we enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate!

When the waitress found out that it was Emma's birthday, she brought her sopias.
Time to head back to the hotel for swimming in the pool!

We also had a chocolate chip cookie.

After a thunderstorm arrived in our area, we went to the rooms and rested before time to go to the game. The thunderstorm cooled temperatures down considerably. The temp for the baseball game was in the 80's - quite a change from the close to 100's earlier in the afternoon!
Waiting for the shuttle
The Dallas Cowboys were having an exhibition game at their stadium plus the Rangers baseball game
so needless to say a lot of people were going the same direction.
