The truck's maiden trip

We all went to the zoo together, zoo together, zoo together. That's a song isn't it?

Anyway we all piled into the F150 on Saturday last and sped up the road to Victoria where we visited the Texas Zoo, a fine little facility which occupied Eddy and Little Ted's attention for about an hour and then it was time for lunch at the IHOP

After lunch we visited Cavenders Boot Store where Ted got two pairs of boots, Little Ted got a pair of handcuffs (don't ask), Eddy got a pink pony, and Mrs Ted got the satisfaction of knowing her family was happy.

"On to Hobby Lobby" said Mrs Ted, "I need a small pot of brown paint"
And so we bought , literally, a truck load of Christmas decorations, sundry other items AND a small pot of brown paint - now Mrs Ted was truly happy.

Our day ended with dinner at The Texas Roadhouse followed by a leisurely hour and 15 minutes drive home. The children were tired, they went to bed happily - hurrah!

Hi Ted,
So does this mean that not only do you have a nice new TRUCK but 2 pairs of boots and I hear there is a pair with some real fancy stitchin'.
Pictures of the boots please.
