The kids enjoy watching the bike races and it has become a tradition that we watch the Blue Dome races on Friday night. Mom and the kids stayed downtown after school/work and waited for Dad to get off work. Grandma was also in town and rode in with Dad. We met up at McNellie’s and the kids did really well at their first downtown restaurant. Thank goodness for cheese quesadillas!
Fiberworks was also downtown at the same time and is an art show that both Grandma Lyn and Grandpa David made it into. Grandma won two prizes and Grandpa sold one of his works – yea! The exhibit was open to the public so we thought it would be an ideal time to take the kids. It also happened to be the same night as a fashion show. Both were in the same space so we stealthily looked at the works in the back of the space and had to take a raincheck on everything close to the runway. The kids did great though as we bribed them with fancy fruit appetizers and showed them Grandma and Grandpa’s names on the wall. Pretty cool!
After that we walked back to where the races were taking place. We ran into several friends and enjoyed wandering the area and cheering as the cyclists raced past. Ben rang our cowbell and cheered for our friend that was racing. After a while it got dark and we urgently had to get home. Ben could tell it was “darker than night”. He could tell a storm was coming and it did start raining as we headed to the car. It was late anyway though and we were able to beat most of the traffic.
We are already planning for next year though and look forward to this fun family tradition!
