Traveling...

After a long drive through Kansas yesterday (where we saw LOTs of wind farms and grain eleveators) we arrived in Denver. We went straight to our favorite store, REI and bought some stuff then off to dinner at Brothers Bar. We are now off to find a place to stay in the mountains. Picture, as usual, coming at a later date:)

Grace's 800m Run...

Last weekend we drove out to Hutchinson, Kansas, for the Kansas State Track meet. It was an extremely stormy, rainy day but it cleared up right before Grace's event... and then it started to POUR just a few minutes before her race started. Grace had a great time (and didn't mind the rain) and placed 12th in the event. I don't know what her time was since I was trying to snap pictures while Guy kept the camera (as well as four people) dry. No one had a free hand to try to time the race. Anastasia had fun running in another 50m fun run too. Hopefully I can get some new pictures posted soon.

After the track meet we toured the Space museum in the Cosmosphere (which conveniently was located next to the track).

On the way home we dodged storms and even passed a storm chaser team. Normally I am on alert for cops but this time I watched for tornados.

Now we are in a heat wave. The a/c runs nonstop. Yesterday we lost power for a little while. It's so hot the pool is like bath water and doesn't really feel "cool".

Pictures from the Hershey Meet....

sorry...

the pictures that go with the last post won't upload. I will try to add them later...

It's now OFFICIAL!

Grace made it to the Kansas State Finals for the Hershey Track and Field Meet. Here is a "happy" Grace after she found out she made it to the state final for Kansas.

Hershey Track & Field Meet

Last weekend, Anastasia ran a 50m fun run at the Hershey Track & Field Meet in Olathe, Kansas. She was so happy to get a ribbon and a new t-shirt!

Mountain Biking in the Ozarks...

Finally posting some pics from our mountain biking trek near the Lake of the Ozarks (MO) .... thanks goodness for GPS to find such a nice place:)

Here's a picture of the trail and the kids ready to roll.

Deer Damage

Here's a couple pictures showing the damage to Guy's car from the deer he hit last week...

Unofficially....

Grace qualified to run the 800m at the Hershey Track & Field State Meet in Kansas. We will receive confirmation of the results in a week. Now we will tour a whole new exciting city in Kansas:) Anastasia ran in the 50m fun run and was thrilled to receive a ribbon and a t-shirt.

Hope to post some new pictures soon!
