Robstown & The Best Raspas!

The day after Zach's birthday, we had to take the kids out of school early and head to Corpus Christi for Grandpa Zavala's funeral.  It was another long day on the road, because first we had to take Gabe to school and waste some time while he was in class.  And then we left from there.  We arrived at the funeral home in time for the Rosary.  Afterwards, we had dinner with the family.  By that time, it was getting close to 11, and me and the kids were ready for bed.  

The funeral was Friday morning at 10 am.  It was a nice service and mass.  After the graveside we all met up at a hall (for lack of a better word) and ate lunch.  We visited with family that we hadn't seen in a while and got to love on Baby Kaleb.

Since we were in Robstown, Gabe wanted to hit up the raspa (sno-cone) stand before we left town.  When he first bought me one, he claimed that it would be the best raspa I had ever eaten.  Having eaten a lot of raspas sno-cones in my time, I thought, "really?  how much better could these sno-cones be?"  But, OMG!  He wasn't kidding!!  They are delish!!!  And not only that, you pay like $2 and get a large!!  You can't beat that!  Lol!  And they have crazy flavors like: tiger's blood, pickle, margarita, etc.  So we made one more stop before we got back on the road.  Raspas for everyone!!!

I was beginning to think that getting the RED raspa was a bad idea...the kids were spilling it all over the place!  But I couldn't resist these red, cute, sticky, little faces...

 And this is how he fell asleep...really.  DS and pen in hand, feet propped up on the back of the seat.  Classic.

Now time to get ready for the big 5 year old's birthday bash!!
