What does the Tims family do when we get together? Play cards! UNO (Colorado style) is my personal favorite, with Spades being a close second.

(L to R - oldest brother Joey, nephew Joel, older brother Troy, nephew Jonathan and younger brother Tony)



The Tims' by marriage (aka in-laws) played Scattegories after we SKUNKED them in UNO.

2 sisters in law + 2 nieces + 2 of my 3 kids + 1 nephew = LOTS OF FUN!

We made it to Fort Worth, only stopped once and made it in 6 1/2 hours. That's my kind'a trip!

Well.... here we go again. This time, I'm afraid it's gonna be more like Hurricane Rita.

We'll be leaving here in the next few minutes and praying for an easier drive. We are going a "different" way, one that is a little out of the way but usually has less traffic (it took us 9 1/2 hours to get to Fort Worth and back for Gustav). At this late hour, hopefully the kids will sleep and the adults can stay awake!
