Saturday, Bob and Marcia brought Chris' dodge Dakota rt sport (little white truck) up and mom and dad also joined us at the racetrack. Chris ran the truck in the sportsman class and I ran it in trophy class. Chris got a buy in his first round and lost by 3 thousandths of a second in the second round. Due to chris running faster than he initially thought, he changed my elapsed time from a 14:90 to a 14:83. Guess what I ran? If you said 14:90, you were right! Although I had a decent reaction time off the line, the 11 second door car I was up against ran closer to his estimated elapsed time and wine the race.
Saturday evening we all enjoyed a meal over the fire which included turkey and dressing with cheese in the camp cookers = delish!
We were hoping to race again on Sunday but the weather won. After everyone at breakfast together, mom and dad went home while Bob, Marcia, Chris, Addison and I went to the Mississippi River Musem. We had a blast and I recommend it to anyone visiting the Dubuque area. I also showed them the 4th ST. Elevator and Eagle Point Park (to of my other must sees if you are in the area.
After a fun afternoon, Bob and Marcia headed home while Chris, Addison and I prepared the camper for the trip home.
We then met my mom at my cousin Dana's graduation party. By this time the weather had really cleared up and turned into a beautiful night!
(although though some of the following images aren't good - it's funny to see who interested she was in the flowers!)
Once Addison started getting tired (and we started getting tired of chasing her around) we headed back to the racetrack/ campground. Since it was still fairly early, and we already had everything packed up, we decided to head home.
The road was fairly quiet and Addison slept the whole way home. (We made it back to Ankeny around 11:00)
Sunday we mostly did housework and ran errands. We did make a little time for swimming...
They were testing the temp before we got in.
