It's Time To Go Racing

Memorial Weekend was spent in Charlotte, NC for the Nascar Coca Cola 600 Race. Tracy and Casey flew to VA the Thursday before Memorial Day. Stan picked us from the airport, then we were off to Roanoke to drop Casey off with Gramma Lois for the weekend. Friday, we drove on down to Charlotte to meet up with our annual Charlotte group, including Jessica & Craig, Jessica's dad, Pam, siblings Ashley and Nick and friends Tony, Mike and Chris.

It was a rainy weekend. We tailgated all day and for the most part the rained stayed away and it was just overcast, but each night, when it was time for the race, the rain came down hard. The Saturday night race happened, all but 30ish laps. Sunday's race was rained out and rescheduled for Monday. Unfortunately, we couldn't stay. It ended up being a stop and go race anyway because of the rain and they ended it early, so we're kind of glad we didn't stay.

Casey had a fun weekend with Gramma Lois. She showed off her walking and cuteness to everyone who came by to see her.

We headed back up to NOVA for the rest of the week. Tuesday we visited Gramma Gail and her bowling team. We got to have dinner with Dyani, Frank and Harper on Wed night. Thursday night we ventured to Matt and Kelly's new place on the Potomac River. Friday was picture day with cousins Lily and Jack. Unfortunately, Jack was a little under the weather, but I believe the photographer did get a few good ones of Casey. We'll post them when they arrive!

The flight back to CO Casey slept the entire flight on her daddy's lap. The weekend was filled with house chores. Casey did play with her sand and water table Sat and Sun morning. She swam in her pool on Sunday. Sunday night at dinner she took a bite of chicken and started screaming and melting down like she was hurt. When she finally started calming down, we were fishing the chicken out of her mouth and saw that her bottom right molar had popped through...I would be screaming too!! She has been walking around like crazy. Still a little unsure about it, but can take a lot more steps before falling. She'll be a pro in no time.

We head to the beach with Stan's family on Friday for the week...so we'll be posting from Emerald Isle, NC next Monday!!
