The DERBY happened – barely. We bought tickets for the 14th – and then they changed the event to the 1st… which is Rose’s birthday! and General Conference and soccer games and… we decided to make it work and we had a great time with the Thal’s.

we also convinced Kelsey, Shannon and Tommi to come with us!

Shannon was hilarious cause she was so nervous! The cars are loud and a little dangerous. You just don’t know how they are going to get hit and what might happen so it is pretty intense.

Ray plugged his ears the whole time, as expected. And Colbie snuggled up next to Rose right when we got there.

The storm was raging all around us but we barely got sprinkled on.

The DERBY was LONG – like started at 6pm and wasn’t done until 11:00! They had like 13 different heats. Mini cars, Trucks, Heavey weight and light weight and medium. They smashed over 100 cars throughout the night!

And then Sean Thal won the competition and took the trophy back home for the 3rd year in a row!! We were so bummed we didn’t even take a picture 🙂
