Dallas Weekend #2

Well we made it back from Dallas!
We had a really good weekend. Sat morning Ricky got up at 5:45am to head out for his first day of the Sam's MS150 from Frisco to Fort Worth. It was a little chilly out. We made a trip to Walmart to get something warm to wear for the kids, myself, and my mom. We were dressed like it was 80 degrees out. Not knowing it was windy and 58 degrees out that morning. Later that morning my mom and I got the kiddos ready to go to the zoo. Plus we had to pack up everything to move to another hotel later that evening. We drove all over the Dallas area all weekend. I think we saw every part of the city in 3 days!!
The zoo was fun, we meet up with Ricky's cousin's wife and their son. Anthony enjoyed it. He didn't like the Gorillas one bit! (They are kind of scary looking) We did get a work out that day. I dunno if you have been to the Dallas zoo but it is not stroller friendly....haha! There are hills that seam like mountains. But all in all we had a good time.
Ricky finished Saturday at about 1:30 or so. We picked him up at Texas Motor Speedway. He was very tired...I would be too after riding 90 miles!
Later that night we all went to dinner with his cousin and his family, and also meet up with a buddy of Ricky's from HS that he hasn't talked to in 2 yrs. It was a nice night.
Sunday morning I got up with Ricky at 5:45am to get him to the Speedway by 6:20am so he could finish his last 70 miles to the finish. I saw him off and went to get the kiddos and myself ready to go see daddy finish his 2nd MS150 in 4 weeks!!!!
So my mom and I got everything and everyone ready to go. We got to the finish Line at 11:00am. We saw some people coming through already as we arrived. It was an amazing sight just to see these people finish such a big ride! I myself can't wait to do it next year!! I can only imagine what they are feeling as they cross the Finish Line...many emotions I'm sure!
We waited for Ricky to come through....AJ was having fun looking for daddy and playing with his Uncle B. Finally at about 1:30 here comes Ricky!! AJ said Go Daddy Go!!!
We are so proud of him for finishing knowing how bad his knees hurt and how tired he was. Plus the course wasn't rider friendly so I hear. But he finished with a smile.
After lunch we loaded up and headed back to Houston. Everyone was exhausted even the kiddos.
But it was a Great weekend!! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend as well.

Have a great week!!!
