Just a quick update on today. Salem and Keith had bike races over in Altoona. Salem raced withe single speed guys...what single speed...they FLY!!! Salem only got lapped 2x and that is pretty good considering the guy who lapped him is a Cat 1 and normally laps his whole field except for the top 3-4 guys. Doesn't help the course was huge! This was the Cyclocross State Championships so medals were on the line for the top 3 juniors. Good thing only 3 juniors turned out to race!! Salem finished 3rd place in Juniors, but because the 2nd place kid does not have an annual license Salem got the 2nd place medal! He got the 3rd place prize though, and it was $25 gift certificate to Scheels (a local bike store). Pretty sweet considering the junior racers were free today!!
Keith didn't get lapped and out of a field of 34 Keith finished 15th! No medal or prizes, but a great race for him!! Especially since he has been fighting a sinus/cold infection all week long!

After the race we had to race home and go to the Scout night at the RoughRiders (local hockey) game. Got there just in time! Awesome awesome game!!! Lots of action and goals!! We won 6-2! We knew it had to be a good game when we scored a goal within the 1st minute. And then another time we scored on a power play and the announcer didn't get to finish saying who scored the goal when we scored again!! We had 6 scouts show up, so not too bad. There is never a ton of interest for the hockey games, but it is a blast! I'm thinking of getting either season tickets for us or just a few game tickets for us for Christmas. The kids had a blast and I think they'd enjoy going often! Salem also got to use his scout knowledge tonight. For one of his pins he had to learn the signs for a sport, he chose hockey and got to tell us the calls tonight. Kids are doing the chicken dance in the picture.
Game ended just after 9pm and home we went again finally for the night. We let the kids stay up and watch the videos we took of the race today and then off to bed. I figured they'd be pooped (I know Keith and I are) but they are still up yapping and messing around. Well they better sleep in tomorrow then!!!

I'll work on more pictures and such maybe tomorrow, not sure, it's supposed to be really nice here...think 70's, so we'll probably be spending most of the day outside. Kaden loves making those bike courses in our yard!
