Let's Go Racin'

This past weekend, we were able to get away and spend some time with Katie! Doug and I enjoy going to see the dirt track races in Algona, IA (near where Katie lives). We weren't able to make it up last summer, but we made it this year and had a great time. Thanks again for having us Katie!

I, of course, forgot my camera! Luckily, Katie came to the rescue.

One of the first things we saw when we got to our seats was this car that had hit the tire barrier. The tire became stuck under the front end of his car!
Dallas just sat on the bleacher (well for the first couple heats) and watched the cars go round and round! He looked more like a toddler than the baby I still refer to him as!

Watching the races with Mommy.

Then, he had to change seats and watch with Daddy.

When the feature races begin, the crowd stands and waves at their favorite drivers...Dallas joined in as well!

Starting to get sleepy, but still loving the races!

The last wreck of the evening...

Dallas stayed awake until 11:30 that evening! He only took an hour and a half nap on the way to Katie's house Saturday afternoon. He did sleep another 45 minutes on our way to the races.

Sunday morning, we went out for breakfast and then Katie showed us where a bald eagle has made a nest just south of her house!

After bird watching for a while, we made our way back to Katie's house. I think Dallas was ready to mow her lawn. Too bad she did that chore Saturday morning!

Until next time...
