Going Places

Last night we headed out to a place called Beaumont Ranch. You may remember from an earlier post I talked about Katie's field trip there. On Friday nights they have a live band and an all you can eat buffet with fried catfish and mexican food. I had to go back and try it out. We gathered up some adventurous friends and loaded up in the car and headed back to Grandview Texas to see if the place was any good. It's about a 30 minute drive and you kind of feel like you are driving nowhere until you turn onto the grounds of a beautiful ranch. The food and dance hall are kind of nestled in the back so you have to have an idea of where you are going or you would think you are in the wrong place. We got there about 7:30 starving to death. Everyone had saved up their appetite for this occasion. The buffet was very good. They served friend catfish, hushpuppies, french fries, and okra. The Mexican food part served fajita meat, rice, queso, green sauce and various other items. The food was actually very good. I was surprised how good it was. After we stuffed ourselves the kids went to jump in the bounce house or try their luck with the mechanical bull. Jesse, Katie, Sydney, and Amy all took a turn being thrown from the bull. Also, the band that was playing did a very nice job. I was thrilled when Jesse took me to the dancefloor for a dance. He doesn't like to dance so this is a great act of love and charity when he dances with me.

We had a very fun night hanging out with friends, eating good food, listening to good music. I will definitely be back in February when they start their buffet back up. We lucked out and went the last night they will be serving food for the next 2 months. Here's a link to the place if anyone wants more information. http://www.beaumontranch.com/facilities/barns/lone.html

That really sounds like a fun family friendly outing. Remind us when they start things up again in February. We'll have to check it out.
