Houston, TX

Houston was all about the family. First we stayed with the Holt's.


Grant's baseball game.


Tracy, Jack and Kate. We also got to see Jack play basketball but our camera battery died before we could take a single picture.


While Grant stayed to watch the other high school teams play, Rebecca and I meet up with her other sister and some more neices and nephews.


Pool baseball.


Cousin soup.


Pirate leaving evidence.


Kate making thumbprint art in Rebecca's journal.


Watching Kate at her hip-hop dance class was a blast. That girl has some attitude!


Houston Skate Park.

After leaving the Holt's we went to have lunch with Rebecca's Great Aunt & Uncle.

Kimberly, Uncle Frank, Aunt Betty, Connie & Rebecca


In Katy, TX at the Redmon's, we got to see one of Rachel's track meets. She is the anchor of the 4x200 relay. They took first place.


Brett made two nice plays in the infield and got the game ball!


Paige showing off her skateboarding skills.


Nikki likes to carry around his girlfriend to show her off.


After Houston we drove north to Amarillo to check out Palo Duro Canyon State Park which came highly recommended by Rebecca's Great Aunt Betty. It is the second largest canyon in the US.


Rebecca and Pirate at the trailhead to The Lighthouse. As you can tell by Rebecca's outfit and thermometer it was a cold morning.






The Castle on the left and the Lighthouse on the right.


We were really surprised when the trail continued and actually climbed up to the base of the 310 foot Lighthouse. Even more shocking was the fact that no one had carved their name in the soft sandstone.
