What a wonderful weekend in the ever too hot Breckenridge, Texas. I think that the temps topped out at 112 degrees, but when you are outside playing golf, it seems even hotter. Chris and his team made the championships and had we stayed longer yesterday evening we would have discovered that his team came in the money and was third. But, let me tell you. When it is 8:00 at night and you know that there is a 4 hour drive ahead of you with a 1 year old - you kind of just want to leave.

It was a lot different this year with Thayer present and not in a bad way. Usually we would be stuck places with no reason to leave. Like the town bar called Potters on Saturday night for the tournament dinner. BUT, we were told that Thayer could not stay past 9:00, seeing that it was in fact a bar! I am glad that we left when we did because I heard that right after we left, there was a bar fight. I kind of imagine a "Roadhouse" kind of thing with a blind man singing, chairs being thrown...and yes - I was told a beer bottle and pool cue came into play. A little bit different that what we are used to seeing in Austin, but this town is full of true Texans. Tight jeans, boots, hats and of course, giant belt buckles - and that is just the ladies! Not that I do not enjoy most of the people we see on this one weekend every year. Lance, Angela, Diane, Thomas, Mr. Weatherby...but I just get tired sometimes of - well - how do I say it...okay, really I do not have any reason to leave early other than I am tired and old. When the clock chimes 10, I am usually curled up in bed watching the history channel. I guess this one weekend every year could be the exception, but I do love sleep!

I really did miss caddying for Chris, usually I get to ride with him, clean balls, get water, help with clubs...I did not this year. Thayer and I went out with him Saturday morning for about 5 holes, but then it got to be Thayer's nap time and we headed back to the hotel. But, I must say that Thayer was perfect on the course and acted like a little gentleman. He also received numerous compliments on how well-behaved he was. Even one comment that we was quieter than the gallery of drunk ladies that were following the players around. Well done Thayer - well done!

All in all, it was a great weekend and we got to see all the people that we love to see! I am excited for next year when Thayer is old enough to get in a lot more trouble.
