Houston Astros

Minute Maid Park is home to the Houston Astros. A magnificent stadium complete with restuarants and shops - great if you want a break from the game. This game lasted for 3 hours!!!. Not sure if I will every become a baseball fan but it was a good night out. If you double click on the photos you can see how large the stadium actually is.

More pictures of our Cruise

Setting sail from Galveston.

This was our view for two and a half days !!!!!!!

Land at last - Jamaica

River tubing in Jamaica
was our choice of adventure.

It took over an hour to float down the river - we even encountered some small rapids - great fun

We had to share our cabin with a variety of 'friends'. Sarah liked this one the best.

Clash of the Titans

Six months on from the last concert and the results are much better. Unfortunately I only managed to record one tune but it gives you a taste of how well the band are doing.

Stuarts flying visit

Stuart came to visit last weekend during his work trip to Houston. We had a great time and Sarah especially enjoyed splashing about in the pool with him. Come back soon Stu.

Please can I have some more?

This is a new ritual that Brogan goes through

when he wants fed. We call it parading of the bowl.

Solo & Ensemble Competition

Sarah did very well at her Clarinet competition on Saturday. Her scores were excellent and as you can see she was awarded a blue superior ribbon for both sections - the highest award.
