campout, racing, motorcycles






























As you can see, the scouts were in charge of all the cooking at the last campout. Brent said it took two hours to get breakfast done and it was mostly burned. I am glad I don't have to endure those, I get to go to gorls camp instead where they cook all your meals for you. I must say that last years fish sticks and lima beans were pretty gross. Didn't eat that meal!!!

Brent went for a weekend up to College Station to race cars with his partners. His partner Ben races Vipers for a hobby all over the country and so Brent and Steve went up to spend a weekend with him watching him race and racing as well. Brent said it was awesome. I took the Mustang out for a test drive one night with Lauren and got up to 85mph in about 5 seconds. I felt like I was in high school again when we would drive our old piece of crap cars really fast on the hills of south Salem. I'm sure Dad knew we did that, not Mom though.

Austen still loves to ride his motorcycle. Not sure where Peyten is, guess he didn't go. We went to the supercross this past month and had fun. Talk about some serious rednecks. I wore ear plugs and we had seats in the suite so it wasn't complete torture for me. I just don't get that sport, it is was too dangerous.

If you were camping here now, you'd be in the snow.

I just caught myself up to speed on the Christiansens. You do the funnest things!
I like the post about nothing/everything. Think I'll give that a try.
So is your back supposed to be hurting still? Are you coming to Vegas?

I'm sure Brent loved his 'track time'. Has he ever tried Autocross, technically SCCA Solo racing? Not as fast but you've got to be quick. I hear there are some great clubs for that in TX.
