Gathering #3

 


Saturday we went to our 3rd get-together with our old Alief high school buddies. We had drinks, food, looked at old pictures (from before digital cameras were invented!) We also laughed over old stories. We had a pretty big group that made it. It was fun to watch all our kids running around. I think our kiddos range from 2 months to 14 years. Looking to the next gathering (I believe there was mention of a crawfish boil next year!)

Trans-Siberian Orchestra 2007

 



We went to TSO again this year. This was my 4th time, William's 3rd, and Logan's 2nd. This is by-far the best show (concert) I have ever seen. You get a great concert, lazer show, fire, SNOW, and a sweet Christmas story. Everyone needs to check it out next year. FYI...get your tickets as soon as they go on sale. They do a day and evening show for one day only. Both shows sell out every year. Make sure you buy tickets for the floor seats or lower level. You want to try and sit below the lights rather than in the upper levels. (This year we bought tickets too late and had to sit in the higher level. Still a great show, but you don't get the same effect.)

The Ripstik (Yikes!)

 



Logan also got this "Ripstik" for Christmas. This thing is super-dangerous! It seems impossible, I know I would harm myself if I even attempted to ride it. Logan has mastered it, and as always...makes it look easy. I still refuse to go near it!

Patrick jamming while tiny hellicopters flew all over the place!

 


All the kids ended up getting those tiny remote control hellicopters. I think they had 5 flying around the living room at the same time. It was crazy! They were like a bunch of mosquittos buzzing around!
