STL Cardinals and 'Cross Prep

This past weekend was packed full of fun (new) stuff for our crew.

Saturday morning both Ian and the little guy had soccer games and it was Darion's first one ever. He played super hard and did a great job as goalie in the second half of the game. Once while playing mid-fielder he ran by me and said 'this is hard!' and then kept on running. His little 5 yr old legs were in high motion. Ian played super solid in his game which finished in a tie. He plays soccer much like basketball seeing and reading what is going on far ahead of most others.

Back to the casa for clean up then it was off to STL to spend some time with Deb's sister's family. Their boys are a great fit for ours and we hardly heard or saw from them while we were there. Sunday we went to a Cards game as Tanner (Deb's nephew) sang with his school choir during the 7th inning stretch. Chris and I took Ian and Tanner down to the ball park early to try to snag some ATL autographs. Mission accomplished and the rest of the crew joined us for the game. We got tickets up high behind home plate and what I like about the new Busch is there really isn't a 'bad' seat in the place.

Everyone had a great time and Darion loved it; it was his first major league game. Packed up the car and headed back home later evening. Super trip.

Training is going well and I am feeling pretty good about the start of the season. I have no expectation of 'killing it', but hope to be somewhat competitive on the Cat 3 level. Hermann is getting a little bit of rain right now, but forecasts don't seem to have much more falling before Sunday (sounds familiar). Temps look to be incredible for racing.

This evening is Cross Vegas and I am looking forward to watching the action. On a side note: how freaking dominate is Gilbert when the finish has a bit of an upward punch?!?!?!
