one crazy month

November has been such a busy month!  We have seriously been traveling every week.  The first week we went to St. George for Kade's grandma's funeral.  It was sad to see her go, she was so great.  She was always so kind, funny, and happy.  But it was also good to see some of Kade's relatives I never have met before. Here's a picture with all the grandkids.

The next weekend Kade competed in his first desert dirt bike race.  It was in Lynndyl, UT by Delta.  They call it the Cow Dung Race.  Very nice name.  Kade raced with his friend Dave, and brother in law James.  Dave has raced several of these before so he did the Expert class.  Kade and James were in the Intermediate class.  Because the race was 75 miles, we couldn't really watch the race.  They rode 3 laps of 25 miles and stopped in the pits for a fuel up each lap.  That was the only time we saw them when they were racing.  Except for the start up.  Well, we were supposed to be able to see them.  I got a video of what we could see.

 

 Kade got first in the 450 intermediate class!  He did incredible for his first race.  He did go down and smash his finger - you can kind of see it holding his trophy. 

We found some great photos online of the race.

Kade's the one in front

Again the one in front

Now this week it got a little crazy.  We got back from Utah Sunday night.  On Monday we packed our bags again for our trip to Omaha, Nebraska.  We got invited by the Lindsay pivot company to tour their plant and see how everything was made (and so we would buy pivots from them).  It was an all expense paid trip from Tuesday to Thursday.  We stayed in the Embassy Suites right next to Old Market in downtown Omaha.  The Old Market was a really cool place.  It had all the original buildings from the late 1800s and the original brick streets.  I wish I would have gotten some pictures but I forgot to get the camera out.  Touring the plant was actually really interesting.  It was cool to see how they made these huge pivots from sheets of metal.
And we are still not done traveling for the month, we are heading out this week to Utah for Thanksgiving!
