Another Busy Weekend

We took the kids to a bunch of different events this weekend. Lately I have the urge to get out of the house and do something new and different. On Saturday we started the day by shopping for tuxes for Stevo and I. I have to admit that the whole process was pretty painless. The wedding will soon be staring us in the face so we had to get our tuxes early so we don't have to hit Wal-Mart at the last minute looking for something to wear. (Just kidding with the Wal-Mart remark). We then headed to a comic book store to check out their Free Comic Day Celebration. They had already run out of comics by the time we got there but they still had a few that were cheap so Stevo and Jazz got a couple each. I don't think they are going to be comic book diehards but at least they are reading.

After the comic book adventure headed to an Indian Pow Wow near McKelligon Canyon but we got there too late to see any of the dancers. Jess thinks I'm crazy for dragging her and the kids everywhere but I think doing different things is what makes life here in El Paso interesting. I was only able to take a cool picture of one of the mountains near the event.

To end the day we headed to the St. Thomas Bazaar. Jazz hit the jackpot by winning at Mexican Bingo and the cake walk. Jess and I still think it's weird that the people running the bingo games don't bother to cover up the naked mermaid on the cards. In the words of Stevo, "That's just wrong." We had a good time at the fair but were kind of left scratching our heads when we saw that the beer was flowing freely while the singers were onstage praising God. We don't have life insurance on the kids so we didn't risk putting them on the rides. All in all a great day. There is plenty to do in El Paso, you just have to look a little harder sometimes.
