We got to sleep in a little bit this morning before heading off to Keith's race in Pella. HBA had a good team showing so we wanted to check out a few of the races. Before we left I asked if we should take sunscreen. Naw said Keith it's supposed to be not so sunny and hot. Ha, weather man lied as we all got nice and red today! We also did not take our pop up tent thinking it wouldn't be bright sun. New rule is sunscreen and tent are must haves!
Race went well...okay that's a lie partly. Race was good and exciting...Keith's racing not so well. But you have to remember this was his 1st Cat 4 race, and alot of the guys are good 4's, not beginner 4's. Main thing is Keith finished the race!! Not sure what place he got as he was 3 laps down. You can check out his blog to get more details. We think he did great and hung in there trying to keep up and working hard and not giving up! He learned some stuff about racing of this type, so that will help him!
But again, he finished! In the Master 40+ race we had 2 HBA guys and 2 dropped, the other took 3rd place! In the Cat 3 race we had 5 guys! Only 2 finished, but 1 got 3rd! In cat 4 race we had 2, Keith and Mac. Mac raced in the juniors this morning and took 2nd, but in the Cat 4 race he got lapped 4 times.

Kaden was a big butt every since he woke up this morning. I could write a HUGE story on him, but I won't. If he's not complaining he's not happy and if he's complaining it means he's not happy about something. This child is not easily made happy. It makes our head hurt! We are trying to figure him out, but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Salem is fine. He's really starting to grow up...at times. He is wanting to be more grown up and helping us out. Which really is great because Kaden does not. It's kinda tough because Salem is not a good direction follower nor is he a good listener, so it's again trying with him. But by far, he is MUCH easier to deal with than Kaden.
We got home around 7pm today and had stopped to pick up some burgers and buns to grill. Had some fresh corn on the cob too. Ate, watched some Olympics and off to bed went the kids. Didn't even get a chance to wash them tonight. Ah, I'll hose them down tomorrow, lol.
Did I mention Kaden has more poison ivy? Last Saturday while we were at the Cub Scout event they went bike riding. I guess Kaden fell off into the woods and sure enough I guess he found PI. Darn that kid! So he's got little spots all over his legs again. We were not planning on being in the woods so he wore shorts, bad idea!
Fun times I guess.
