Texas Trip

Thunder and I were able to take an awesome trip along with the BYU football team to Austin, TX.  It was just the two of us, and it was awesome to have a few days to explore by ourselves!

We took a tour of the city on Segways... I highly recommend this and would do it again!  Besides a friend nearly being flattened by a FedEx truck, it was awesome.

We at at the Old Salt Lick and had some old style BBQ.  We also ate by Jimmer Fredette, who was also in town to cheer on the Cougs.

Cosmo showed up too.  Don't you love the decor?

After dinner, we went to a local high school where Ty Detmer is the coach.  While standing there, I felt someone poke me.  When I turned around I saw my cousin Andrew!  We haven't seen each other in several years, and it was so random to run into him in Texas.

Then it was game time.  BYU played great the first half, but not so great in the second half.  We ended up losing.  It was a pretty down way to end the trip, but we still had a great time.

Where were the kids this whole time, you ask?  My amazing sister J flew into town just to watch them.  She got them to all their activities and even ate at the park several nights.  Every day I would call her and ask if she was still alive, but she actually did incredibly well!  She kept my crazies in line, which is an accomplishment by itself.  Now it was ironic that she lives in Texas and she flew here to Utah while we flew there.  We were so glad that she was willing to come out.
