Cars, Barbecue, and Bad Smells

          Grandpa gave us tickets to the Indy 500, so we invited Laura and Jeremy to go.  We met up with Ray, Barb, and Rachael Clark at their usual parking spot.  The spot was within a mile of the track and had ultra-clean bathrooms...thank goodness!  Let's just say I don't think this club for gentlemen makes it's money during the day!  It was an early morning, but as Ray put it, "We're ahead of schedule!"

          The race, itself, was neat.  The cars were fast, and two or three of the wrecks ended up stopping right in front of our seats. No one was injured!  It was a really nice day!  Thanks to the all of the families that kept our little ones.  We really enjoyed our adult-time!

          The following day was Memorial Day.  We went to my parents' for barbecue.  Mmm..it was so good!

          Now that school is out for the summer, we took advantage of a cool morning and went to the zoo.  We had a blast.  RLT was very alert and interested in the different animals and plants.  She didn't necessarily notice any smells, but Mommy and Daddy sure did!

This is right before Mommy and Daddy noticed the smells!

It's time to go home!  Can you tell?!?

          At the end of the week, we went to Jenna and Russell's for a cookout.  Holly and Chad were there too.  It was so much fun to just relax with all of our daughters and enjoy each other's company.  The older girls love playing dress up and thought RLT would too!
