Picture of fire

These were taken at the annual family eatathon in Hico. At which Sam got his first look at two of the funnest things in the whole wide world ...

Fire!

This experience was accompanied by a great deal of "Hey! Back! No touch! No touch! Danger! Hot!"

And offroad vehicles

The boy definitely loves the machinery with wheels. We have a children's book that has nothing in it but pictures of things that "Go." Sam's brought it to us so many times that we've started running in the other direction anytime he bends down to pick it up.

We also did a grandchildren/college affiliation shot. (A few Baylor kids would have been perfect for the season, but ain't none of us that rich.) Everyone took a shot and my Mom's planning on using the best for this year's Christmas cards.

This is my best. Eh. A few of the children got caught at an awkward moment.

After looking at this picture, I remembered that we had an impromptu kickball game that afternoon. All family members not in this shot suffered age-related injuries.
