Some days are better than others.
Saturday 6-28-08 was one of those days.
1. My daughter, Von Behr, rode her bike for the first time without training wheels. We have been going for long walks most days for the last two months. Angel and Von ride their Razer scooters while Kim and I walk the hike-and-bike trail in our neighborhood for 45 minutes. I think the time on her two-wheeled scooter prepared her for two wheeled biking. She was awesome! A vision on her little purple bike with a purple helmet, two long sleeve shirts, and wool mittens on her hands all in the 90 degree heat. She had a little trouble getting started, but once she was going, she did great. Stopping was not really a problem like I thought it might be. I’m sure we were quite the sight with me running along beside her in case she fell.
2. I found the power supply to my scanner. I’ve been looking for it for over a year. It was in the drawer of our antique buffet. (Of course it was)
3. Kim now has internet access in her home office. Hey, it’s only been a year! I had to buy and install an ATT 2Wire modem/wireless router. For some reason the Netgear wireless router kept locking up.
4. We had dinner at the Clay Family Restaurant (on Clay road). It’s a chicken fried steak kind of place, very Texas. They have a huge playground for the kids with a petting zoo and sandboxes. Kim and I sat inside watching the kids through the big windows in the dinning room. I put Kim’s phone in Von’s pocket, and when our food arrived I called her to come inside. Genius.
5. Our Sony portable DVD player starting working again. We only use it for long car trips, and we are getting ready to take another one. Good timing.

Hey, I’ve been to that restaurant. I don’t remember anything Indian on the menu!?

Thanks Sam.
Lynn, they have buffalo. Actually, the food was the least wonderful thing about the place. Kim had catfish and I had chicken fried chicken, What do you like there?

My experience was much like yours. The best part was watching the girls terrorize the animals in the petting zoo. Poor llama…

Texas Borders is another “kid friendly” place very close to you guys…as long as you don’t mind the kids being real sandy when it’s time to eat!
El Jarrito on Highland Knolls/Mason is our favorite Mexican restaurant in town (their beef fajita enchiladas are the best) and they do the sandbox thing too.

Yeah we have spent time in both places. Victor’s across Fry also has a playground.
I’m wondering why people think a sandbox is the best playground for a restaurant. What’s next? A kiddie pool? Mudpie table?
