SCCA in Houston
















We went this weekend to watch Uncle and his buddies race. It's always a lot of fun to watch...we wish there were more races in Houston. They set up the track at Gulf Greyhound Park with cones and everyone races for the best time. SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) racing is considered more of a skilled event rather than a sport, according to Uncle. I believe Uncle and Tommy (his racing partner) placed 2nd, although they held 1st place for a long time...you can't win every singe one I guess! Scott's dad came up too, so we all had a great time visiting. This was Maggie's 1st of hopefully many! She did extraordinarily well, didn't seem bothered by the loud cars at all. Here are some of the good photos I managed to capture. Good job guys!

Our Sunday in Beaumont











Scott, Maggie, & I met up with Pop & Deborah in Beaumont to visit Grandpa. We had such a great visit! The weather couldn't have been more perfect than it was on Sunday...sunny, breezy, around 70 degrees. Pop & Deborah got in on some good Maggie time, and I can tell that Pop & Maggie are going to be BFF's already. Grandpa was enjoying his usual leisure time in the swing on the front porch. We're glad to report that he's doing really well and hasn't forgotten a single story. We always seem to breeze through the neighborhood to and from Grandpa's house...one of these days we'll take our time and soak up the historical sites that make Beaumont what it is today.
