The Motocross Weekend

It's Sunday night and we are all rested for our next 4 days of the project.  We had a good 3 days off.

On Friday we did laundry and went to Nevada, MO for a Walmart run.  Since the weather was so nice, we went for a motorcycle ride in the later afternoon and stopped at a good barbecue restaurant that was recommended.  The ride was curvy and hilly and the weather was perfect.

Saturday was spent in the campground as there was a motocross event being held at the camp.  The kids and amateurs rode on Saturday and the pros rode on Sunday.  It was fun to watch the smallest riders on 50cc machines (with Mom or Dad running along to help), and the pre-teens on 80s and 125s showed a lot of on-the-job training.  This was the first time anyone had ridden this course; it was hilly, rocky, and heavily treed.  Seems like everyone had a good time, including those of us who were spectating.





Saturday was also a nice day to just kick back and get some stuff done around here.  We volunteered to make lasagna for a group dinner this Wednesday so we got that made and in the freezer then.

On Sunday, we went to a local church as a group, and later in the afternoon we all went to Chicken Annie's.  This is right next to Chicken Mary's out in the country, about an hour away to the SW.  These 2 restaurants were featured on the Food Channel on a show which takes 2 restaurants on in a competition.  Apparently Chicken Mary won.  Originally there was one restaurant owned by sisters.  There was a disagreement about the recipe and this resulted in the 2 restaurants.  Here is a picture of our group:


This morning when we opened the curtain on the front window, this is the sight we had:

Yesterday morning there were 8 deer out in the field in front of us.
