This weekend we have been pretty busy although we couldn't leave town. Eric had a Black and Gold scrimmage for spring football on Friday and a Booster Club golf tournament yesterday, so we decided to make the best of our weekend here in Amarillo. Saturday morning, we went down to 6th Street in Amarillo-the original route of Route 66. Neither of us had ever been down there and we just tricked out minds to think that we were on some main street in a tourist town. We had fun eating hamburgers at the Goldenlight (an original Route 66 restaurant) and going into antique stores. After church, Mali and I set up to camp in the backyard. I really wanted to camp this weekend so we did! Mali was SO excited and said her favorite part was sleeping in the tent. Although, I didn't do much sleeping in the tent. Mali woke up literally bright and early at 6:30am Sunday morning. We also made s'mores and Eric toasted our marshmallows for us.
We spent Sunday "going green" and doing our part for the environment I suppose (or saving ourselves money and controlling what we can control in this economic downfall.) We bought all green light bulbs and put them in every fixture in our home and outside our home. Let's hope it makes a difference in our electric bill. We also ordered renaissance windows from Big State Remodeling to have installed to save 40% on our utilities.
Sounds like a great weekend! I think it's fun to go to new places in your community that you've never been to. It makes you think you're somewhere new and exciting! And what a fun way to go camping! I'm sure Mali loved it all!
