Railroad BBQ Closed. Auction next week.

Railroad BBQ in Kyle closed their doors last week.

They're having an Auction on 4/29. So... I shot this photo.

Sad. It's a Kyle Landmark.

Of course... I used it more for directions (turn right at Railroad BBQ) than I did for food. 

7th Annual Kyle Parks and Recreation Bike Rodeo

The 7th Annual Kyle Parks and Recreation Bike Rodeo

Was held 4/12/14. 

This is an amazing event where, for $10 kids are able to participate in a "bike rodeo" (several courses), a t-shirt, a bag of goodies and then parents can join the kiddos on a 2-3 mile bike ride through Kyle.

BUT the bonus is in all the extras. There's a little bike safety presentation,  a ton of giveaways and if you are in need, they will fit you with a new (and free) helmet.

Me being very unsafe taking a photo over my shoulder during the ride.

My Youngest little girl actually WON this bike... and she LOVES it.


Here are the rest of my photos from the day:

Throwback Thursday - Kyle's BON TON

Throwback Thursday... Kyle Edition.

If anyone was in Kyle before 2002, they will recall the local meat market / grocery downtown by the name of Bon Ton. It opened in 1926.

It stood for just shy of 80 years on the same place where the Kyle City Hall now stands.

In 2002 it burned to the ground. It reopened at another location, just outside of Kyle, in 2004.

Silly Faces for April 1.

My girls deliver silly Faces for April Fools

The girls wanted to take a picture with our friend David Wilson at the Hats off for Hospice event this past weekend. Of course... every time we take photos... there's the "silly face" pic at the end.

Seemed appropriate for April Fools.

On a serious note.. David Wilson is running for Kyle City Council. Learn more about him at http://votedavidwilson.net/
