Hi Mike! Been to the fair yet? I'm going to try and get home early tonight and run the girls over there. Erin just got her cast off her arm yesterday so she's ready to go. This will just be a sneak preview for Sat. when we go back. She's getting ready to start 1/4 midget racing in March. Her Mom wants her to play baseball instead.
