Race #1.


A little concerned.


Race #2.


Overall, the results were a little disappointing. We learned a lot though. Just wait till next year!


And we all drove off into the sunset... To Campisi's for pizza!

The Nittany Lions vs. The Buffalos

Today was Trace's first basketball game. It was actually much better than I expected. Of course the refs didn't call 70% of the fouls or there wouldn't have been much ball played. There must have been 10 or 12 baskets scored by each team. Trace loved inbounding after each out-of-bounds or basket and as you can see in a pic below he caught a pass off his head. Big fun, Grampa Craig would be proud!

Some of the new toys get a workout

I love the new tractor Nana & Grandpa!


Cool Hat Cowboy!


He just fits.


...and the new scooter gets some use too.
