It's true EVERYTHING is BIGGER in TEXAS!

Here's a review of the weekend past....
Stop one in Texas was to head to Frisco and spend time with cousin TJ (center in photo).  We don't see enough of TJ!  Two weekends ago his 9th grade AAU elite basketball team won the National title in Little Rock.  He's ranked as a Top 50 player in the Class of 2015 and took off on Monday to a youth basketball showcase in Las Vegas!  Keep it up TJ!  Oh, TJ is a fraction under 6'0" and already dunks...but we love him for the great kid he is!


What the HAIL!
When's it's 103 degrees you seek any kind of relief.  We swung by the Snow Cone Lady to get some flavored ice and the Texas HAIL arrived.  Those streaks flying in the air is hail.  Of course the boys wanted their snow cone before the ran for cover.




Food Is Big Too!
Sunday breakfast was at Rudy's General Store, Gas Station, and ah, well, Smokehouse!  This place carves up all kinds of meats!  Take a look at the breakfast taco board!  



Sports are big too!
Forget your local "Y" in Frisco they have the Fieldhouse --- pictured is the 11, yes, 11, indoor full size basketball courts, there is also a full size, yes, full size soccer/football field, 12 batting cages and a huge weight room with aerobic gear.  Oh, just outside the front door are 12, yes, a dozen, beautiful soccer fields!


Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives!
We dined at a fun placed featured by Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  I had the Boar Burger topped with mushrooms, cheese, and fried dill pickle chips...wow!  The featured meal of the day was the Dirk Diggler --- nobody could bring themselves to try that one!  Oh....it's 6:30 PM and 102 degrees.


Next post we get to baseball!
