We just got home from another weekend of Soap Box Rally racing in Salem. On Saturday Grandpa and Grandma Kennedy, Madeline, Everett, Uncle Jonathan, Marcia, Andrew, and Austin were at the race.
The Dixieland band was playing for the Ridgefield 100th Anniversary celebration, so I had to leave Salem after setting up the car to drive to Ridgefield, play with the band, then drive back. I got back to Salem about two o'clock just in time to see the first Phase of Alex's third and final Heat.
Alex ended up finishing 8th and winning a trophy.
After the race we went to Pietro's Pizza with the rest of the racers, then went to the hotel and swam with Madeline and Everett for a couple hours. By about nine o'clock everybody was ready to sleep.
Sunday morning we were back at the track for another day of racing. Grandma and Grandpa Kennedy, Madeline, Everett, and Uncle Jonathan all came back to watch the racing again. We didn't seem to be doing quite as well as Saturday, and did not place.
On the way home from the race we stopped at the Woodburn outlet stores to buy Alex a couple jackets and a pair of Heeleys for school. We got home, unpacked and repacked, and are now exhausted, but will be leaving for Spokane early tomorrow morning.
Good night.
