4 Hours in Line

On Thursday at our Academy here in Katy a few Astros came to sign autographs. Hunter Pence, Lance Berkman, Cecil Cooper, LaTroy Hawkins, Larry Dierker, and Bill Brown. They were to be signing from 3:30-4:30. I got there at 1pm and i was number #249 !! Skip got Payton out of school early and brought him to me around 2:30... and we waited ..... and waited... and waited. the line was around the building and down the street, there were at least 200-300 people behind me !! Anyway, when we got closer to the front of the store, Payton went in armed with my camera and got some pictures of the guys ... As Payton was taking a pic of Hunter Pence, he looked up and was playing with Payton as he stuck out his tounge at him. Payton didnt get that pic but the one of Hunter Pence smiling was following the silliness !! By the time Payton came back to me in line all the Astros left. .. YEP left. So apparently they only got to #100 in the line and we were #249 !! So NO autographs, but Payton got to get really close to them and get some pics. Apparently the people in the very front of the line got there at 7am. no thank you !!

Oh well, we will try again next time.
