Saturday was a new day and Baby A was going to have his friends over. Being that Thanksgiving is this coming Thursday and we are going it alone because Wife's family decided it would be safer to stay home (we usually have them come over for Thanksgiving), Wife woke up early and motivated to go to HEB and get our turkey to make sure it was thawed by Thursday morning. We went and bought too much stuff, as usual, but that is part of the fun.
We bought a treat, barbacoa since it was early and then Wife made some eggs to add to breakfast and make it that much more. We ate then actually headed out to New Braunfels to go look at some kayaks at Austin Canoe and Kayak over there. They had a Pro Angler demo model but I thought it a good idea to get Wife to see why it is so expensive, it isn't just a kayak. They had other models, most notably, the Bote Rover Aero. This is a model I really like, it is a stand up paddleboard but has room and is meant to be pushed by a motor, up to 6HP. I have seen videos of this particular vessel and it is something else. I have been having a hard time between deciding if I can trust an inflatable which would be monumentally easier to carry in the back of any of our vehicles, or set up a roof rack to carry a solid fiberglass 12ft long vessel of any type. I liked the kid showing us the product was a husky dude and he said if he did stand on it as it was sitting there, it would not bend in half, that is a bold statement.
We then headed back, Baby A had his friends come by at this point and they had walked over to Target, something they like to do. We went and picked them up after awhile and then headed out to Mangia Pizza. It had been a few years that we had eaten this pizza and I don't think any of Mijo's friends had eaten the Chicago style deep dish. It was fun to sit with the boys and hear them joke around. Our son really does take after Mama, he loves the sound of his voice. The boys do a good job of keeping his ego in check, he is just so boastful, but in a funny way, not to be conceited. On the way home, We were way up north, Wife put on Maui's "You're welcome" which they were all singing along too. We like to joke that Baby A would make a perfect Maui if they ever did a school musical or talent show, but all four boys seemed to know the lyrics.
We dropped them off at the house, he had new video games to play and we went to Central Market to see what we would buy. We got some cupcakes in case the boys felt like cake, and some ice cream. Wife asked each boy what kind of ice cream and then we got each of them a pint. We ended the night early, I had gotten up at 7:00am and gone to bed like at 2:00am Friday night.
