The Sheep-& Lunch with the Girls

We arrived in San Angelo last Wednesday. We have just been relaxing and enjoying being with family again. We decided it would be fun to take the kids to lunch. So on Friday the boys went with us and unfortunately I didn't bring the camera with me, so no pics. We had a great time anyway. Today was the girls turn, so they picked this Mexican Restaurant pictured above, located in town.

After lunch we went to the Visitor's Center in San Angelo. This is a picture in the back which is nicely landscaped and right on the Concho River.

Here is the front of the Visitor's Center.

We stopped at the Eggemeyer's General Store in San Angelo. A neat little store that seems to have everything. It would definately be a good place to find a unique gift for someone.

Some of us remember "penney candy". There was a nice collection of all the different kinds of candy we enjoyed as kids. They even had candy cigarettes (Yuck!)

Emma is really serious about her ballet. This is one of her practice studios. She has been in many different performances in San Angelo. Every year she performs in the Nutcracker. Just this past year, she has learned Pointe. She loves ballet so much that she is always dancing around the house and if you have a conversation with her expect a twirl or two during the conversation. She is now 13 and is a little taller than me at 5'4". She is as sweet as she is pretty!

All around town they have these adorable sheep. I guess this area used to be known for its sheep and wool. So, many businesses have decorated them and they are scattered throughout the city. The lovely young lady here posing with this one is 9 yr old Ellie.

Another one we drove by.

This one is called "Common Cents" If you click on it, you might be able to see why it's called that. It is covered in pennies. This was one of my favorites.
