Day 27 - Texas

Once again Margaret was up again early to make breakfast for us, this time it was spicy pumpkin muffins and they were delicious! Today Karen, Wendy and myself were taking the kids to Six Flags Over Texas - a huge roller-coaster park situated in Arlington just over an hours drive away.  Unfortunately the drive took us almost 2.5 hours due to highway construction and losing Karen and Wendy travelling the car behind me!  All good though - Karen managed to find a gas station where she placed more credit on her phone so we were able to locate each other - a bit of a scary moment though!



The kids had a great time on the roller coasters even though they only had about 4 hours to have fun.  Karen, Wendy and myself had fun shopping at a local mall in Arlington where all the shoppers apart from us appeared to be either Mexican or African Americans!

Nick, Daf and Glen had a boy's day out and visited a gun show at Lewisville which had thousands of guns for sale and show.  Glen was amazed at the pricing - apparently about a quarter of our pricing in Oz. They enjoyed lunch together at Mimi's - a local diner which had good food!

After collecting the kids from Six Flags we travelled stright to Ponder to join everyone else at the Ranchman's Cafe to have chicken friend steak for dinner.  The food at the Ranchman's was fabulous and was enjoyed by all!  Jonathan got up and played a piano in the restaurant and played very well (and he was quite chuffed with himself!)
