Rocky Mountain Oysters - Experience with my BFF # 2

We all got ready to head to town.  The boys in the truck and the girls in the car (and we took Junior too!)  We jammed out some old school Dixie Chicks for me and Verna and took off towards town.  We had no idea where we were going to eat, but after talking over beers the night before it was decided that where ever it was had to have Rocky Mountain Oysters and everyone was going to try them.  I have avoided this delicacy for 11 years and really wasn't too thrilled to be peer pressured into it, but I said I was game.  We told everyone except the 3 youngest what they were actually going to be tasting.  We walked around the town area of Estes and finally saw a place that wasn't too busy and looked nice and they had what we wanted.  Poor Jordan, Verna's son, was having a slight reaction to the high elevation and had gotten a nose bleed on the way to town.  We found him the restroom immediately to try and clean up and get it too stop.  It eventually did, but the poor kid did have to sit for a awhile with tissue to plug it.  We all ordered some drinks and Verna and I had some wine.  We ordered our appetizers and they started cooking us up some good ol' bull nuts.  We took pictures of course of each us having our experience with our new food.  Dan has had them a number of times so for him it was no big deal and the kids didn't know what they were eating, but when they are older we will show this page to them and watch the girls freak out on their mothers!

In true lady like fashion when it comes to trying new things we made the boys go first!

Dan was up first - Yep no big deal for him.

Cory was up next, not too much expression from him either.

Verna was third to go and as any girl does ya gotta check everything out before you try it!

It was my turn and you can see that I was none too excited for this, but I gave it a whirl.

Verna's kids were next!

And then there was Junior - Look Mom, I ate every piece of my lobster tail.  Expensive little bugger.

Good Job Junior. 

After dinner we were all stuffed full.  We did a little shopping and walked off a little of what we ate and then headed back to The Stanley.  The kids did a great job sitting all the way through the appetizers and dinner.
