A Fun Weekend


We had a good weekend, too bad it is over. It started Friday night with Cole's pinewood derby. As you can see in the picture Cole won a trophy, taking second place and a chance to move on to districts in a couple months. His car won 3 out of 4 heats and was second in the other. At the end he was tied for third. The timing was down to the thousandth of a second and they were still tied after 4 heats. The race off was almost as close but Cole's car won by a few hundredths of a second.
Also on Friday night was the girl scout cookie dance; this kicks off cookie selling season. Anybody want some? Robyn and Kaori went to that and had a lot of fun.
After that we went to Rapid City, SD to spend time with my family. We shopped a little, played cards (who got the first place prize in the canasta tournament? It wasn't the left-handed dealer) and swam in the hotel pool. Cole and Kaori especially liked the pool with the water slide. I can't forget to mention that we ate and ate and ate all weekend too. We returned home last night and picked up Hiroo who stayed at the kennel at his veterinarian. Very enjoyable.

Methinks your reference to getting the "first place prize" makes it sound like you actually placed first, which you didn't. You simply stole the first place prize. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

I was handed the first place prize. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

That Kaori girl sure looks cute in her animal print outfit! Maybe you should get some animal print shorts to run in for your marathon in Myrtle Beach.

Do you think I would look just as cute?

Nice this one didn't include your incessant whining about the cold. Keep it up.

I'll keep it up alright. I'll keep up the whining. (Do I need to post this response twice too?)
