Weekend Fun
Jim and I went out of town this weekend with two other couples.We loaded up our four wheelers and headed over to Texas. We have been meeting the couples that were with us on Friday evenings to shoot pool and dance going on ten years now. A few weeks ago we picked this weekend to go do something different. We decided to go to Silverstar Saloon in Terrell, Texas. We had heard they had live bands playing on Fridays and a huge dance floor! When we got there we found out the Extreme Midget Wrestling Federation was there this weekend. Everyone had doubts about going to watch; but we were there - so we did. Before the show had began I thought it was strange seeing little kids walking around even though they were with adults, this is a bar!?! The show had parts in it that were very provative; certainly nothing that any little kid should see. We came close to walking out. We stayed to hear the band play afterwards. They were good. On Saturday, we rode over to Jacksonville to go to the Muddy Gras at River Run. Jim let the Garmen take us there, which is not always a good thing, it took us down the windiest back roads that were through the middle of nowhere. The couples that were with us had never been four wheeling the way we do - in the MUD!! We did not let the rain put a damper on things. When we finally got there we had so much fun! There were tons of trails and tons of people! We were so muddy and wet! I'm so glad we got to go! Maybe they will want to do it again sometime!

I am not sure I would have been able to stay and watch the Midget wrestling. You are braver than I am. There is something degrading to it. I know the participants are willing but it just seems a little much for me. I would have loved the four-wheeling adventure though. That sounds like a great time. I have not been four-wheeler mudding in a long time. I used to go all the time with friends but we haven't been able to. I hope to go to Mudstock next year. Have you ever been? I hear it is a great time.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that things improved as the weekend progressed. I love to go mud ridin' also. We do it often where I live. Normally on Sundays, we will load up the four-wheelers and Rhinos on a trailer and head to Blue Lake. It is fun but can get expensive. We tend to tear things up every now and then. I don't mind payin the price though! The money is well-spent!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the "midget wrestling" doesn't appeal to me, but I'm only 4'9" tall.
