Tour de Missouri

On Friday, The Chambers and the Smiths took a little trip to catch a stage of the 2nd annual Tour de Missouri. This is a 7 day race covering parts of the state of Missouri. This stage ended in Jefferson City (the capital) and it was the closest stage to us-about 2 hours away. So the guys took off early from school and we went to see some of our favorite riders up close-the closest we will probably every see till we actually get to France or become personal friends with Al Trautwig.
Brad and Tyler with ear to ear grins. They were in a very happy place!!
We got to see the riders go around 3 times before they sprinted to the finish line.
You'd think the guy on the left would win because he is about 50 meters from the end. He didn't the guy to the right ended up winning and we were there to see it!!
The girls.

By the way, when we left Kirksville it was cold and rainy so we were all dressed for cold and rainy. Wouldn't you know, when we got to Jeff city the weather was a balmy 94 degrees and the sun was out. Nice. We made a quick stop at TJMaxx for some books and such and B-rad had to buy some flipflops or her was going to die of the heat. We were so glad it didn't rain, though.

Sounds exciting, and Brad really does look like he is in a very happy place! I love that dress you made Chloe. It has inspired me to learn to sew, especially if I have a girl some day!!
