Let's All Go to the Lobby, and Have Ourselves a Treat!

For this Forth of July, Matt and I decided to take a trip out to Ennis for a night at the Drive-In theater. We saw "Get Smart" and "The Hulk" (not my cup 0' tea by the way...I actually feel dumber having watched it).

I love going to the drive-in because it's so cheap! You pay $6.00 per person and you get to watch 2 new movies! The snack bar is also super cheap and while you wait for the movie to start, you can now play miniature golf! It's great!

Here are pictures of Matt and I posing with the dancing food on the wall of the Snack Shack! Matt chose the meat, while I opted to stand with the icy cold beverage.

Matt and I brushing up on our putting skills before the movie. Two 18-hole games are only $4.00 a person! Of course it was 100 degrees with no shade, you could hear semis passing on I45, and the putting greens were less than level sometimes....but hey, it was still fun!

And finally when our golf game was over, we settled in and reclined our seats for our 3 shows...The 3rd was with 2 girls in the bed of this truck you see in the background behind Matt. Eeeesh!

Hopefully this will be our new 4th of July tradtion because I loved it. We didn't have to smell any stinky barbeque, stay out in the sun for a long time, or hurt our ears with fireworks! God Bless America...and cheap-o drive-in theaters!

Happy Birthday Josh!

Friday was my best friend Josh's 27th birthday. I wanted it to be special since it was his 27th birthday on the 27th day of the month (that's supposed to be your 'golden' birthday or something), however, our lack of money made it anything but special. We still tried to make due and have fun with what we had though.

We first began with dinner at a Mercado Juarez located in the heart of the Mexican community in Fort Worth. I do believe that with the exception of one cowboy that was wearing jeans so tight that it made his hot pink shirt balloon out like he was a stick of cotton candy; we were the only white people there.

After dinner, we made our way back into NRH and pulled into Putt Putt Golf & Games for some good ole fashioned miniature golf and arcade games! There we saw a variety of people that included a teenage boy that had handcuffs hanging from his belt loop, a rather large woman in a tank top sporting a tattoo that read "Tank", and as always, a few "chongas". In all it was a very entertaining night and great to see my good friend Josh again after such a long time.

Josh's Tiger Woods shot. He's such a good sport at posing for anything I ask, lol.

This guy stole my club and tried to attack me.
After many, many arcade games, Josh scored enough tickets to buy a very fitting eye patch and pirate sword.
