Event: Revenge of the Buns: Veggie Dog Eating Contest
When: July 4th, 2009
Where: Tiniest Bar in Texas (Austin, Tx)
Only in Austin, Texas will you find an event that has Zombie Veggie Hotdogs, a man dressed as a unicorn, other crazy costumes, and the mandatory live music all on Independence Day! July 4th was the 3rd annual Revenge of the Buns: Veggie Dog Eating Contest and it was a freakin’ blast! (We could have done without the record breaking heat, but whatever.) This 4th of July, we wanted to do something new and exciting! That resulted in us having a new found hatred of Hot Dogs…
Anyways, contestants in a doubles team or singles had 10 minutes to eat as many veggie dogs their bodies could take. Our team ate a combined total of 9.5 or 10.5 hot dogs. We were a bit delirious and lost count but we know for sure it’s over 9 and a half veggie dogs! The winning team ate 28 while the solo winner ate 16. We never knew how much it took to eat so much! Because of this event, we declared we are never entering in another food eating competition. Ever.
The event was amazing but seriously; keep hot dogs away from us!

Day 83: LONDON?!

We have major plans for the future. In exactly one year, we want to save enough to sign up for the student traveling abroad program to London! The trip includes several tours of the city, a day trip to Paris, and various other amazing things! Educationally, we are perfectly set up. Financially, not so much. We will be spending the year saving up. Don’t worry though! We still plan to go to as many events as possibly, just the free ones.
Day 83: A Penny Here and There

We are saving EVERYTHING. We are beyond scared we will not be able to afford the trip. Every penny is important at this point.
We will have updates on our financial and educational progress over the next year.
Wish us luck!!

And even more adventures!!
Day 74: Random

We had no idea what to do today.
Day 75: Tornado?

We stayed at my parents house that day. A tornado was said to hit near where Gossy and I live. Everything turned out fine for us and there was not any damage. Our car got hit with more hail though…
Day 76: Day of Mourning

OUR CAMERA BROKE! We’re borrowing my mama’s camera for now. Gossy took a while to stop crying.
Day 77: No Trespassing

You’re not allowed in there!!
Day 78: Mt. Bonnell

Gossy and I took a little trip to Mt. Bonnell in Austin, Texas. It’s a wonderful view of the city. To check out the rest of our pictures from that trip, click here!

The adventures continue!
Day 69: When It Rains, It Pours

We leave our new home to go back to our old one. On the way to El Paso, the sky decided it would make things interesting by raining on us.
Day 70: Guitar

While relaxing at our Uncle’s house, Gossy wanted to steal my dad’s guitar. It’s ok though, it is way to heave for Gossy to even carry it.
Day 71: To Sleepy To Care

It was a long and busy weekend in El Paso. All that Gossy wanted was to sleep.
Day 72: Back Home!!

We are back home! We got Sara and Maxie a gift but Gossy just HAD to pose with it first.
We started going back to school. The first thing we had to do after the exhausting trip to El Paso was to do tons of homework. Gossy didn’t take it well…
