This weekend Rod did a bike race! It's called the Cactus Cup, it's a 3-day stage race of various events (Cross Country, Super D, etc). There were pros there and everything! Rod even recognized a few from his magazines. The serious people do all 3 days of events, for a chance to win the overall awards. Rod did the Super D on Saturday. The girls and I got there right after he finished the race (I didn't think the girls would do well waiting in the desert for an hour for Rod to finish the race). It was fun to see all the competitors and bikes. Afterwards they had a big event at a park with booths and vendors and things, so we made a day of it. The girls really enjoyed playing at the park, which had a water part to it. Rod entered in the Beginner class, and finished 6th overall out of 21. Rod's doctor told him this week that he needs to have 2 more surgeries on his arms...so Rod figured he'd better do stuff like this as much as he's able!
This is the finish line, the women were just finishing
Lizzie LOVED the water in the park!
The park was all midwest-themed, this is a stagecoach.
This is kinda sad! Periodically Caitlin gets out all her cold-weather things and pretends it's cold outside! It cracks us up. She said she was pretending there was snow in the mountains.

carrie- that is the funniest thing that your little las vegas baby dresses up and pretends its snowing outside..she can always come to rexburg! That stinks that Rod has to have more surgery..sorry Rod!
Way to go Rod! That is so sad, cute and sweet that Caitlin dresses up for winter. She crackes me up.
Rod, I'd feel better about you doing RIDES instead of RACES! But congrats anyway. We need to get that Caitlin in the snow on a snowboard! Grammy will take her - no wait, maybe on skis.
