While taking the first picture, a neighbor, we think, came over and offered to take a pictue so that all of us could be in the picture. Funny thing,Uncle Bill and Aunt Priscilla don't know her and when we turned to say "thank you", she was gone.

Father's Day - I know it's a little late
Richard and I popped in on his Uncle Bill and Aunt Priscilla for Father's Day. His cousin, Lyn, and her husband, Max,were vising from Jacksonville. We looked through some old photos and slides and then we ate:-)Uncle Bill's hamburgers, Aunt Priscilla's carrot salad and carrot cake. It was soooo good and we loved our time with them. With Richard's parents being gone, we're thankful for them.

Mama and Papa's Visit
It seemed that the time flew by when Mom and Dad were here. I guess one of the bad things about owning your business is that it is hard to take time off. I felt like Richard and I were either on the computer or the phone. But Mom and Dad said that they were able to relax. Mom went to the SPCA with Sarah, Papa went to the races with us, we stayed out by the pool and went to the beach. Sarah with the help of Mrs. Debbie Sikora made a wonderful dinner for all us. (It was so nice of the Sikora's to open their home to us) I just wish that I would have spent more time with my parents.
Sarah had fixed Mama's hair and Mama had fixed Hannah's hair. The girls wanted a picture together and Andrew kept sticking his foot in their way.

Finally, a picture without Andrew's foot
The girl's getting their revenege on Andrew for sticking his foot in their faces

Wonderful 4th of July Week
Mom, Dad, Todd, Ron and Mary came in for a visit over the 4th of July week. Brent and Emily opened their home to all of us. They grilled hamburgers, hotdogs and sausage dogs. We had all kinds of cookies and brownies that Sarah and Hannah made...and lots of good food. Avalon Park puts on a "carnival" theme at their town square. The kids loved playing/climbing/jumping...there was even a man that was wrestling alligators.

Yummmm...the hamburgers are really good...maybe it's the ketchup that is sooooo good

Watching the fireworks...we were right across the street from where they were shooting them....pretty close
Mary got us tickets to see the Coke Zero 400 on July 5th. It was Andrew, Dad, Todd and my first experience. Prior to going there, Richard would make comments about the "thrill of seeing cars pass by while sitting in hard bleachers and drinking half cold beers out of a can" But I have to say that I'm a little hooked on the whole Nascar experience. We had beautiful weather and I was so amazed that I could see the cars race around the track, but as they passed directly in front of me, they were nothing but a blur. We rented the Fanview, so we were able to listen to the drivers. There is so much more than just a fast car to win the race...there is bumping, drafting, when to bring the car in for a pit stop, how many new tires that are put on. We were there to watch Carl Edwards who is sponsored by Office Depot (Well, Andrew loves Jeff Gordon)and we had an increditble ending that included Carl Edwards, Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch. Kyle Busch won....not our pick...but we loved being there...we took home little pieces of tire that were all over our shirts from the tires

Mary got us Pit Credentials which meant that we got to go down on the track and back by the cars. Here we are on the track at the top of Turn Four. Andrew got to wave at several drivers: Mark Martin, Tim Burton, Tony Stewart,

Andrew Turns 11
Andrew had his cousins over for his birthday. They spent the day together. We saw the movie Get Smart at the theater with everyone, then came home and grilled Richard's hamburger and had Birthday Ice Cream cake. The boys said they stayed up until 4:30am
Ron, Mary, Cheyene and Alexis were vacationing in Orlando the weekend of Andrew's birthday. We sent Saturday with them at their resort...eating and hanging out at the pool. Then on Sunday, we went to North Turn where we had lunch and played on the beach and in the ocean...then we came home...grilled steaks (more eating)
