On Sunday 10/16/2011 we all met in Las Vegas for the Indy car race. My Dad, 2 brothers (Randy & Marek) and my brother in law Al. It was a beautiful day for a race. 93 degrees and blue sky's. It was a 200 lap race, but on lap 10 there was a 15 car wreak that killed driver Dan Weldon. the race only went 12 laps and then was called off for unsafe track conditions. The cars were going over 220 miles per hour at the time of the crash. I was using my Nikon D-80 with my 70-300 zoom. I just got lucky that I was shooting 6 frames per second at the time of the crash. The pictures tell the story.

Hi All, With the exception of one thing, Kerry and I had a great Christmas. Randy, Robin, Katie, Kolby, Michael, Rebecca, Walker, Jackson, Tia & Nate all stopped by during some part of the day. We had home made Cinnamon rolls, Honey baked ham and all the snacks that go with it, plus Kerry's home made fudge. We all had a great time and got calls from Timmy, Jason & Sammie. I wish that we all could have been together, but with a family as large as ours, we will take what we can get. Kerry & I hope your day was filled with love and happiness and we wish you all a Happy New Year!
