NASCAR weekend...........and a giveaway

......just been thinking about my busy summer........
One major event we have every June is a NASCAR weekend.
This year
on Thurs June 16 to Sunday June 19 we had 10 NASCAR fans for the weekend.
We have been sharing this weekend with family and friends for 6 years now
 in past years
......we have had as many as 13 and as few as 8 fans arrive for the weekend ....
...this year 6 fans arrived on Thursday evening....
and 4 more fans on Friday evening....
add DH and me and we have a houseful!!!!

Let the fun begin.....

Saturday and Sunday the guys are at the race track
and every year.... except this year..... there were ladies that have gone to check out
....what happens at the track stays at the track....
one year they came back from the track soaked to the skin....
NOT happy campers....
it was hot, humid, and stormy.

This was Sunday June 19, 2011...what a happy bunch!!!
....the weather was good!!

Boy's leaving on Sunday

raring to get on the road are...
Al, Roger, nephew Jon, Don aka Tids, my DH Bruce, DBIL Ross, and nephew Josh

here are the girls sending them off at 8:10 in the morning........

I like bright colors....

and now we ladies can get on with our day
shopping.......sewing......more shopping......more sewing
it is a fun weekend with
lots of food......way too much most of the time and
lots of laughs....and most years if the weekend is on Father's Day
we have a fireworks display
thanks to Canton Township Liberty Fest celebrations....
we have an awesome view from the front of the house.....
up to 15 lawn chairs line the length of the driveway as we watch the sky!!
Josh had sooooo much fun on Saturday he missed the fireworks.....
he was resting up for more fun on Sunday....
...remember what happens at the track stays at the track...
Sharon and I are the only ones that have not experienced the track thrill!!!
That's OK with me.....I'd rather be quilting!!

Looking forward to June 2012 already,
Charles will be back from active duty later this month
and will be able to join us next year!!!
