May 23-June 24, 2016- Our Illinois visit~Finally a hot dog picnic-A night at Sycamore Speedway~

Friday June 24, 2016-  Guess What???? The sun is out!!!! What a difference a day makes!!! Today we are FINALLY having the kids over for a hot dog picnic & whatever else they want to do!!! Turns out Trinity doesn't have to work today so she & Ryne will be joining us! Tomorrow we leave for Milwaukee, Wisconsin so we are happy we're having nice weather for our last day with the kids!

                                                     Getting ready for the picnic!
 Trinity, Ryne &dog, Riley showed up first. Riley wanted to play with Otis sooooo bad, but Otis is a grumpy old man & didn't want to play!
                                                            Papa grilling the dogs!
 Poor Zach, he didn't feel good, & didn't feel like eating. Before the day was over he got to feeling much better!
                       Riley is not in "TIME-OUT", Ryne put her there to keep Otis happy!
                                                                Okay......Let's Eat!!!!
 We have 3 grand daughters. I started a tradition of giving each grand daughter their birthstone ring for their 16th birthday. Courtney will be 16 in August & since I would not be able to see the expression on her face when she received her ring....I gave it to her early!She liked it !❤💖💗💕

                                                                      PLAY TIME!


                                            Smile for Gramma! Courtney, Dylan & Trinity

                                 They are trying to catch the blue gills in the swimming lake!
Dylan & Zach. By now Zach is feeling much better! Zach told me he felt he should call me "GRAMMA" since he is KINDA related to Dylan, Courtney & Trinity!?! From out of the mouths of babes!!!
Stacy called Trinity to tell us Zach needed to come home, remember they only live 5 minutes by car from the campgrounds! Zach had to get ready to go back to his mother's house & really the rest of us had to get ready to go to Sycamore Speedway! I felt bad for Zach, he wanted to go with the rest of us, we told him next time which is only 2 weeks away!
 Sycamore Speedway has been a source of entertainment for a long, long time! Lennie started going to Sycamore Speedway on his own when he was 16 & that was over 50 years ago! We took our kids here too! Tonight is going to be a great night of racing! They have Powder Puff(girls racing!) Figure 8 & Demolition Derby!!!
                                                Lennie, Lennie Ray,Trinity, Ryne & Dylan.
                Every race, Dylan, Trinity & I would pick the car we thought was the winning car.....
                                                                I picked a lot of  losers!




                                          but FINALLY....I chose this one, #6 & he won!!!!!
         Last event for the night.....Demolition Derby! Where they keep crashing into one another until there is only one car left running!
Another fun night at Sycamore Speedway! We'll be back in 2 weeks!
