Mallory

Race Day

Just some pictures from Rick’s race day Sunday.

No wonder she likes Kid Rock – what with her hat looking all trucker-like; notice the huge bug bites on her left cheek :-(

Like Mallory needs that water more than Rick does; notice the free beer in Rick’s right hand – they were handing that out as people crossed the finish line. That is Rick’s kind of race!

“Helping” Rick walk his bike back to the hotel.

Rick did great in his race yesterday, finishing 15th in his age group and 70-something overall. He was bummed they didn’t do the swim part but with as gross and choppy as that river was, probably just as well he didn’t swim!

We made it down to the race area just in time to see Rick go running by – and Rick’s aunt & uncle came down to the race also so we got to spend some family time while Rick caught his breath and waited for results. Mallory was throwing the football around (she can actually throw a spiral about half the time!) and is quickly learning how to catch the ball :-)

House is officially on the real market, not just FSBO. But no calls yet. Keeping it super-clean all the time is going to be really hard if we aren’t getting any traffic. One of my friends suggested moving out for a few weeks in order to keep it show-ready. But who wants to leave the lake in the summertime?
