Drake Relays Weekend...

Every year, we have friends, from Wisconsin, as well as other places, come to Des Moines for the Drake Relays. We have been getting together for over 15 years. Obviously, it has changed over time due to everyone having kids, but it is now getting to the point where the kids go to...it is a guaranteed good time and laughs and we look forward to it every year!

Sam and Ryan at the bulldog and new watches to time the races.
Sam at the relays...he really hung in there with the heat on Friday. Our car read 89 degrees when we left the stadium around 2:30.
When we got home, the boys played in the sprinkler to cool off...yep, the sprinkler!!!
The next day was so cold and wet. Sam opted not to go, but the rest of us headed to the blue oval. Our attire was much different..layers and rain coats!! We hung in there for the entire day...though we couldn't walk afterwards due to frozen toes! These are our awesome Wisconsin friends: Meredith, Brad and Ryan.
