Wow..........am I behind. We have been running for almost 2 weeks. Ken and I took our trip to Bristol, TN to see the Nascar race. We had a great time. We stayed with some of our friends from IA in their coach and we were right next to the track. Both of the races were fun and it was fun to go back, since we haven't been there for at least 4 years. Matt Kenseth won the Busch and Cup race, which was great for Rod and Merelene, since he is one of their favorite drivers. Aunt Stacy stayed at our place with the kids and they had a great time too. They were all worn out by the time we got back. It was a 15 hour drive for us and that is a long time in a car, but well worth it.
My sister Kelly and her family are at Mom and Dad's this week. They got there Friday. We aren't going to make it down to see them since we are still trying to get our kids back into their routine of every day things. Ken and I went to an Alan Jackson concert at the MN State Fair. We have gone to the fair every year for many years. It is a tradition. We took the kids yesterday and met Jason and Denise and their kids there and all of us had a great time. We ate too much and spent a lot of money on food and rides. Evan learned that he hates the haunted house but loves to ride rooler coasters with his Dad.
Evan starts school on Thursday and I still can't believe that he is in second grade. He has all of his stuff ready to go. School shopping was fun. Just he and I went and that was much easier. He doesn't like to try on clothes but did a great job and we got it all done in one night and about 4 stores. I am ready for him to go back to school also.
I start my woodworking class this week and that will be fun again. We are going to make cutting boards and I am not sure what else.
I think should get everybody up to speed. I will try and get some photos on here later today.
Have a geat week!!

Hi there!
What a busy time of year for you guys. Sounds like you've been having tons of fun with all your activities. I always love to read about all the stuff you guys do...going here and there. Fall is my favorite time of year. Maybe because it's almost time to "fly" south.
We had Shaun's early birthday party at Chuck E Cheese last night. He had so much fun playing all the games and running around with his shoes off. It was fun for us just to watch them having fun. They can really go through some tokens! It was SO nice to finally see the kids. It's been pretty hard to be so close and yet so far since they've been here. But the party was great and everyone had a nice visit. Christy is still afraid of Chuck E Cheese. We call it Chuck-E-phobia! But otherwise, she had fun, too. I think they're all going to have to rest for about a month when they get back home!
Keep in touch!
Linda
