sorry it's underlined

This weekend Rod did a bike race! It's called the Cactus Cup, it's a 3-day stage race of various events (Cross Country, Super D, etc). There were pros there and everything! Rod even recognized a few from his magazines. The serious people do all 3 days of events, for a chance to win the overall awards. Rod did the Super D on Saturday. The girls and I got there right after he finished the race (I didn't think the girls would do well waiting in the desert for an hour for Rod to finish the race). It was fun to see all the competitors and bikes. Afterwards they had a big event at a park with booths and vendors and things, so we made a day of it. The girls really enjoyed playing at the park, which had a water part to it. Rod entered in the Beginner class, and finished 6th overall out of 21. Rod's doctor told him this week that he needs to have 2 more surgeries on his arms...so Rod figured he'd better do stuff like this as much as he's able!

Lizzie LOVED the water park!
