Mini-golf, bowling, and food--oh my!

Aunt Shirley and PaPaw came to visit us this week. We had so much fun while they were here! We played glow-in-the-dark mini golf one afternoon. Unfortunately, it was so dark in there that the pictures didn't turn out. We introduced them to a couple of new restaurants, as well: Fish Daddy's and Hullabaloo's. PaPaw really enjoyed the fried catfish at Fish Daddy's! He even ate some cold for breakfast the next morning! We also went to a diner called Hullabaloo's. A little background on Hullabaloo's: Coult and I like to watch some of the shows on Food Network, including Diner, Drive-in's and Dives (something like that). Anyway, I decided to see if the host had visited any restaurants in Texas. I was shocked to find one that he visited is about two minutes from our house! So, when my parents were up here visiting about a month ago, we all decided to try out Hullabaloo's. We figured it couldn't be too bad considering it was on Food Network. It was really great! It's in an old diner car that was brought down to Texas by the owner/cook who is from the Northeast. The food is great! So, we decided to go eat there again while Aunt Shirley and PaPaw were here. PaPaw loved their liver and onions and Aunt Shirley was excited to find that they cook an authentic grilled ham sandwich. It was so big she couldn't eat it all even in two meals! While they were here, we also went bowling. We forgot the camera, but Coult managed to take a few pics on his cell phone. We had a great time! It was Lily's idea to go, but then she got scared. Coult helped her and she ended up being in second place! I found out that even though I'm a pro at Wii bowling, I completely stink at the real thing! I was in last place! Oh well, it was still lots of fun!
