A Colt Ford Weekend

My weekend began with an early leave from work at 11:20. I was excited to get home and see our new kitchen table that had been delivered that morning!


While we intended to leave the house at noon on Friday, Trapper Steve caught another beaver at Fern Lake so we didn't hit the road until 4:30. I will be honest, my patience ran out around 4:00.  

After arriving at Robert and Kelly's around 8:00, we unloaded our bags and headed to a late dinner at Nuevo Leon. 



The food was wonderful and we were definitely the only gringos in the place!

Saturday morning Kelly and Maddy went to the Cow Town 5k (it was too early for Aunta to get up and go!), Robert, Stephen and Jackson went to the Army Surplus store in search of backpacks (check out the extra scarf purchase below) and I went for what was supposed to be a five mile run that ended up only being three:(


The afternoon called for lunch at Coopers BBQ and then and extra long nap!

Then it was Colt Ford Time!  We had originally planned to eat at a new pizza joint but the wait was 1.5-2 hours so we opted to head down the street to Yucatan Taco Stand. I had my second fill of chips and queso and quesadillas for the weekend and it was glorious!


Then we were off to Billy Bob's. In the excitement of getting ready for the evening I left my ID at the house. Upon realizing this at the door, Stephen and I had to head back to Saginaw to retrieve it. Luckily it's only a ten minute drive so we made it back in plenty of time before the start of the concert. 


And then the fun began!  Even if you don't like country music and you don't know any of his songs, Colt Ford is one of the most entertaining people to watch and his band doesn't leave you wanting either. 


From his amazing dance moves to his cover of Eminem's Lose Yourself at the beginning of the encore it was all smiles in the crowd. 


After one final selfie it was bedtime fire these two old people!

Sunday morning called for brunch at Espiranza's where we filled our tummies with yet again chips and salsa along with Migas and Pineapple drink. 

It was a great weekend topped off with a short stop at the hospital in Longview on the way home to visit Hannah, Matt and baby Ella!
