Uncle Greg, Grandpa Jerry and family came over to my house in Twisp for new years. We had probably close to 2 ft of snow.
We went sledding, snowmobiling and had snow ball fights, and all kinds of fun.
In the first two pictures down below are pictures of the inside of my house. You can see on the top of the pictures the
saddles and the cowboy hats.
We have a huge hill behind my house that we go sledding on, As you can see in the next couple of pictures

After being on the road I went home for 2 days then me and my little brother Jaremy went back to my Grandpa and
Grandma's for Tri Cities and Seafair; now were getting ready to go home to Twisp for a couple of days and we're going
to see if we can get back for Silverdale.
I thought it was cool to see Greg win the race at Seafair. It was a good race. It was also neat to see my Grandpa race
the boat in the B main and win. It was a good weekend for the Mike's Hard Lemonade/Happy Go Lucky. I took some pictures at
the last 2 races and they will be posted soon.

Wednesday on the way home we stopped at Mount Rushmore. We saw the statue heads of four famous presidents, carved in solid
granite. I also took a picture of a mountain goat while we were there. After it got dark they turned lights on the heads of
the presidents and I took a picture. The four presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham
Lincoln.

On the way home from Detroit we stopped to get gas and I cleaned the windows on the truck. That night we stayed at a motel
in Blue Earth Minnesota. The next morning we went and saw the Jolly Green Giant statue and we took these pictures.

While we waited for the trailer to get repaired we stopped by the Neil Armstrong museum Wapakoneta Ohio. The picture of
the jet is a F5D that Neil Armstrong flew. It was the first powered flying model of the space shuttle. It was used to practice
shuttle earth re-entry. The other pictures are of Grandpa, Leroy and I by the Apollo and Gemini space capsules.

This is a picture of me and my Uncle Greg being towed back on the boat after he won the race at Valleyfield. They towed
the boat back to the pits in front of all the bleachers full of peaple. We were waving at the fans and they waved back. It
was really cool that I got to ride on the boat back with him.

Lately I’ve been
trying to figure out how to get a fishing license in Indiana, so I can go fishing when I go back east with my Grandpa. So I went on the internet to get information. The website
that I was on had a phone number to call to get information, so I called the number and found out that the age of 17 and under
don’t need a fishing license and that was cool because I’m only 14 so I didn’t have to worry about a license.

These are pictures I took at Tastin' and Racin' where the Mikes Hard Lemonade /Happy Go Lucky got 1st place.And
