Ice hockey

Austin welcomes an ice hockey team this year in minor league, Texas Stars. Dad's company got some free tickets for preseason games. Then we made a trip to newly built Cedar Park Center to watch our stars battle San Antonio Rampage.

Nice center. Great view on ice court. What impressed us most was player fight a lot. Half of our memory on the game was two guys throwing punches to each other while the referees stood next to them watching. On court scene was so much more vivid than TV scene.

In dad's view, it could be a way to toughen up kids, but it might be too much. It is pretty rough even in grown-up standard.

All right, we had our Ice hockey experience. Wish they do well in this inaugural season.

More than holding his own

Tony eats stuff slow, but not when Ray was eating the same thing. If they are sharing the same bowl, Tony eats like he has been starving for years and his two hands always cover the food while his mouth is full. If they each are having their own bowl, Tony would quickly finish up his, then go after Ray's bowl.

Then we will hear Ray yell:"Hey, baby."

Life moves on

After a long drought, Austin finally got some rain, pretty serious rain. It is cooling down now, which makes us feel that fall is on the way. Ray starts counting how far Hollowen is. Tony finally hang monkey bar now after turning down dad's attempt for so many times.
