Horsepower

This past weekend was full of "horsepower" First, dad and mom and I went to Eldora Speedway to watch the World of Outlaws. It is the winged sprint cars which are my favorite. Kasey Kahne owns one so of course I was rooting for his #9 car. It won too! A scary wreck happened right in front of us with a wrecked car getting broadsided. One guy walked away while another had to be cut out of his car. He got away with a compound fracture on one of his arms. It looked pretty bad when it happened.

On Saturday, we went trail riding at Sycamore State Park. We rode a 7 mile trail and then came back to camp where dad grilled hot dogs. It was great weather for a ride. I didn't bring my camera on the trail but got some pics of the camp site

Florida

During the middle of August, my parents, Jamie and I took Ally down to Florida for college. It was a long haul but wasn't too bad b/c we drove at night so that made it go alot faster.

On the way down, we went a little out of the way so we could stop by The Track.

Ally's dorm roomMy Crabmeat Mango and Avacodo Stack I ordered at The Crab HouseA stingray we saw in the water..we saw one even bigger than this one that I didnt get a pic of

State Fair

Ally showed Dan the Man at state fair in Columbus 2 weeks ago. I went down there for two days, especially since its her last time to show at state. She did really well. She also showed Wednesday at a quarter horse show on the grounds. She got high point and won a brand new saddle. Not bad!Breakfast in the barn Our yummy cheesecake.

Quick story: I got there on Wednesday night which was the same day Cheesecake Factory was having cheesecake for $1.50. a slice..any kind! They normally range from $6-$7 a slice. Sooo..we only had to wait about 2 hours! And that was after it took me 10 minutes to find a parking spot..and 20 minutes to walk there after parking WAY to far away. Ally was about to kill me. It was worth it...almost.

This is serious stuff! :)

I had to snap this picture of the judge...guess he got tired of standing!

Mom was trying to get a pic of me, Ally and Dan, but Dan would not look at the camera. He kept trying to eat my turkey leg and drink my sweet tea!

Corn on the Cob

I went home this weekend for a family reunion. I didnt take any pics at the reunion :( BUT I did take a couple of pics of mom and I putting away some corn. A couple of weekends ago, when I was at home, mom fixed some corn and it was soo good. And I have been craving it ever since. I bought 3 dozen, saved some for lunch on Sunday, and bagged up the rest for the freezer. It was sooo good. And fun too!

Planning a Day Off

Last night, my uncle called saying I didn't need to come to the office today because of some other issues. I could have went in to work at my other job BUT I decided not too. The idea of a day off with nothing pre-planned sounded to good.

I was awake at 6 A.M., already planning what to do on my day OFF. So much for sleeping in! I'm doing a little bit of work from home for my uncle, then I plan to: go running, clean my room and the house, wash/sweep out my car, pick up something from the post office, cook something for supper (instead of eating a frozen dinner), do some laundry and maybe go to a softball game tonight.

Now, getting all of that done will take some more planning :)

Tata for now!

Kasey Kahne

While on vacation in TN with the family, THE Kasey Kahne was scheduled to be at NASCAR Speedpark. What luck!!! I didnt get his autograph but I did get a couple of pictures. So cool!

Dad also had to try out Earnhardt Sr's car.
