NASCAR Weekend

For the past 4 years or so Ryan has been making an annual pilgrimage to a NASCAR track. This year was Richmond, VA. After the first year, it was quickly determined that these weekends should be guys only, no because the guys didn't want their gals around. It was because the wives and girlfriends were embarrassed by what their men turned into during these events.

While Ryan met up with his brothers, best friend, and some other guys for weekend of beer, bbq, and racing, the kids and I spent a typical weekend in TX. We had T-ball and Sunday school. The special treat for the kids was to go to the children's theater to see "How I became a Pirate." After seeing all the kids dress up for the previous show, Pinkalicious, the girls were not going to be out done this time.

Casey got a haircut. I have hope that his new crew cut will help his hair grow in thicker and fuller.

I also met up with some of my girlfriends and their kids at our favorite outdoor restaurant/playground. The huge tree house was actually ignored in favor of a caterpillar that Elizabeth found. By the end of lunch they had built a whole habitat for him.

We ended the weekend with a sport a little slower paced than NASCAR but with even more collisions. One of our good friends, Ali (in white), is on local San Antonio Roller Derby team, and we made it a family affair to go out and support her. It was quite the affair with a band, beer, and some great crashes.

P.S. My Easter Lily finally bloomed!
