Doing the Happy Dance!

I paid off our Disney World Trip yesterday! 52 more days to go and we will be at my favorite place in the whole world!

I will now spend the next month and a half obsessing over the mail box anxiously awaiting my Mickey Mail!

Emerald Downs

Every year on the 3rd of July we go to Emerald Downs race track for a fun day of races and the most awesome fireworks around. We have been going for about 9 years now! The weather was perfect and the place was packed. The most people I have ever seen there.

Breanne and Mike Texting friends cause hey isn't that what you do at the races.

Here they come. I didn't get may pics of the horses like I usually do. It was just so hot I did not want to move much!


Mike and Liz finding some shade under the chairbrellas. We found these little wonders at Walmart and they have been a life saver! You can see that this pic was taken right after we arrived and before the huge crowds showed up!

Me and Bre plotting our betting strategy.

I didn't get any pics of the fireworks. I have a new camera and the shut down the track lights before I could figure out the night part. Bre got a bunch though so I will try to get some up here later.

Too Hot!

Man Ron and I just aren't used to the 116 degree heat we had in Palm Springs. Luckily everyone has AC or we would have melted for sure. Mostly we stayed inside. Caryns neighbors were away so we got to borrow there pool for a quick cool off. We did make some runs to the store and Ron and I took a breif drive and walk around Palm Springs. It was a very short walk as the heat was unbearable.Trying on hats. I thought this hamburger hat was a winner! Ron not so much.

Palm Springs

Last weekend we went down to Palm Spring for Ed memorial service. We all got together at Caryn's sisters house to remember Ed. It was a sad day but we tried to keep it more about remembering Ed and not a sad dreary affair cause that is how he would have wanted it. I got to meet Caryn's family for the first time and they are all really great.

Caryn, Her Niece and her sisters. (Oh and Me)

It was soo hot that weekend 116 degrees. Heat we are just not used too. We got to spend time with the boys and Caryn which was really nice. Those boys sure are growing up fast. We are hoping that they can make it up here for a visit before the summer is over.
