What we've been up to

Whew! It's summer time and Sandra and I have been taking full advantage of the the weather to get out and do things with friends and family. Where do I start?

I guess the first thing is visiting family and friends back in Kansas for Memorial Weekend. This is one of my favorite holidays of the year as not only is it a time for barbecue and festivals, but it's also a time of remembrance for those who have served in the armed forces and have now passed on. Each year I try to go and visit my little town's celebration of this holiday. Below is a picture of what this looks like!

We also went to watch the Lenni-Lenape pow-wow that weeken.d What a fun event this is! While I'm only a portion Deleware Indian, it's still a great time to watch a culture get together and celebrate.

On our way back from Kansas we decided to adventurous and we detoured to see the birth place of John Wayne.

Finally, this past weekend was our Anniversary celebration. We decided to celebrate by going to our first ever NASCAR race. Our friend Kevin K. was there along with some of his family. This was simply awesome! We loved the entire experience!!! He had great seats and it ranks very highly among some of the other events that I've gotten to see live. Most events are better on t.v. but I think I would say that NASCAR is much better live. This way you can actually feel the cars when they go by. We had great seats as evidenced by the pictures. Maybe someday I'll have a real camcorder to take cool video with!

Lined up and ready to go!

Not how you win a race :(
