2nd Weekend in Austin,TX
Saturday:
We went to visit Papa Jack, my father in-law and had breakfast with him at the Central Market in Central Park. After the breakfast Bianca Ann played at the playground and feed the squirrel and Birds with popcorn.
We did visit Billy’s eldest Brod Jack Allen at his place in Travis county. We did fishing at the pond- caught none and four wheeling–it was fun!! We stayed there for 4 hrs… it was hot and humid. A different world from Wa- 30 degree temp. ha!ha!ha! While getting ready to leave I changed Bianca Ann diaper and her clothings. As I took her jeans off I noticed she got bumps on her legs, parang allergic reaction ba. My MIl said maybe a bug bite— just put a cocoa lotion oni t.
On our way to Papa Jack’s place– Billy drove us around in the area where he hang out during his high school days. Then stopped by in central market again to buy some asian food. I got a box of California Roll sushi, a lb of shrimp and sotanghon. Am planning to cook a sotanghon soup with shrimp–(nag-laway na ako.) The Sushi–binanatan ko na sa sasakyan pa lamang laking pasalamat ko nang I asked Billy if he wants some–sabi Niya NO!! Inubos ko nang lahat!!!
After a good dinner of HAm and potatoes; took a bath with BA notice the bumos are gone I guess the coao lotion did help. Bed time come Me and billy both experience sneezing and feels our allergy is hitting us. We took benadryl tablet and sleep good.
SUNDAY!
My hubby informed me that he is taking us to the Rodeo Show www.staroftexas.org in Travis County Exposition Center today. As usual I let BA get ready first I noticed bumalik ang mga bumps sa legs niya this time parang lumapad pa. Those pantal did not bother BA at all. Billy applied an oinment for allergy— we got there around 1 pm. As usual it was hot, humid and breezy (maalikabok pa gyud) Bianca Ann pet and feed the farm animals. Oh boy the barn was stinky!!! ha!ha!ha! We did some carnival rides— some rides BA is too short- an inch short YOu need to be 36 inches taller or with adults. I ride with her sa Carousel and a little roller coaster… kuyaw nako oi! Siyaget baya ko- basol daku ngano nga sakay-sakay pa man…Bianca Ann just said wheee with excitement, she thought I was screaming bec. I like it. Billy ride with her sa caterpillar medyo malaki yun. Bianca Ann dont want to go home–she want to see Disneyland first. Told her that they are close on Sunday
We had a Greek gyros and strawberry smoothie for snacks.
On our way home for the first time Billy drove us to Manor where he went from Kindergarten till High school. I took some photos of the kindergarten building; to show BA about his Dad school days. We did drove by where Billy’s old house where he grew up- at the Cameron road–it’s a Business Park right now. But the Palm tree that use to be at the side of their ancestral house is still there. He always take me there everytime we came here in TX. I dont mind I know for sure how it mean the place to him—its part of his life.
Got home- dinner is waiting for us had a Chicken wings with rice (Uncle Ben’s kind) dinner roll, beans and carrots. Took bath and notice BA ’s pantal are gone again hope di na bumalik bukas.

How did the rodeo go? Did you like it? One of my brother-in-laws is from Texas and one of the rodeo champions during his time. They live in Reno and they have 3 boys. One of the boys is also making good extra money from his “roping” wins. He is only 13 but he is awesome on that horse. We watched him roped about 2 years ago. It was fun.
Good you had a good time touring Billy’s place where he grew up and went to school. My hubby live in the same area where we are right now so everytime we go out for a drive, he’s got stories to tell about his younger days.

Kim:
Wow- your BIL is a Rodeo Champion and his 13 yr old son roping??? Galing naman..We did not go see the rodeo event- wish I did. We have to pay to watch it inside the arena…we just stroll around sa farm animals, booths and the rides. I saw some SEXY rodeo guys riding their horse going to the arena—he!he!he!
Helen: Thanks for the well wishes and the prayers…
