East Texas Yamboree

Texas Tech had Fall Break on a Monday and Tuesday last month. Conveniently, Jack only has classes on Mondays and Tuesdays, so he had two weeks' worth of Fall Break.

We decided to take a mini-vacation and head east for the great East Texas Yamboree. I've heard all about the Yamboree since it's a big deal where Jack is from, but this was my first time experiencing it in person.

The kids loved the food: corn dogs, funnel cakes, sno cones, lemonades.

Ellen loved the carousel and the kiddie rides. Jack rode the carousel under duress and cried any time we suggested riding a motor bike or boat with Ellen.

They really liked the parade.

Me and Rose (and Daddy and Jack in the back with their cool shades):

Definitely fun.
