Good-bye Mesa Marin

This was one very long and tiring weekend, as most of ours seem to be lol...

Friday we got Ashley out of school early and we made the 3 hour drive to see the last race ever at Mesa Marin...

Losing Mesa Marin is a huge deal, its a great track, a place where so many greats got their starts...Kevin Harvick was a big one there, but there were many many more as well. Well it was their October Classic...a yearly tradition...gone...it lasts 3 days only we couldn't go to all 3 days...Thursday we missed a huge deal though...A local boy at out track in Madera went there to race and in a horrible wreck his gas tank was punctured and from sparks caught on fire...then exploded...thank good the racer was ok...his name is Brian Herzog, or as we at the track call him Flyin' Brian herzog...hes Ashleys favorite driver...he and all other involved made it out ok with only minor injuries...it was a just a huge scare and I am glad we weren't there with Ash to see it

We left home at 2 got there at 4 had diner then went to the track and the racing was over at 10...we then got home at midnight...we were all tired, and went straight to sleep...

Saturday morning comes...we are going to the big Fresno Fair (this fair is huge). So we all get ready and we get there at 12 and we ate so much lol and then we played every midway game...it was Ashleys first time (except the field trip to the ag area) so Ken made it very memorable...Ashley never stopped smiling at all lol...
she won so many things, it was great.

We got home at 6 and watched the rest of the Nascar race...our boy Michael Waltrip was kicking butt...then Jamie McMurray gets into him and his tire blows...and boom the wreck happens and hes out...he was running third :o)

Sunday we got up at around 9, got dressed and all of that and took Ash to the library and out to lunch...then we went to the ranch. We were going to go pick up a new race car for Ken but the trailor was being used so we will go get it next week...Ashley had bought Larry a sticker at the fair for his race car...says "I am so far behind I think I am first" lol it laughed and then told her to put it on her dads car lol...

When we got home it was after 6 so Ash did some reaserch for her next huge History day project and then we watched Extreme Home MakeOver and cried...that was an awesome episode, we watch faithfully, I also like 3 wishes :) then we watched ROME (after Ash had gone to bed) I love that show, not a fan of all the sex and stuff but the story line is great :o)

So as you see since 11 Friday afternoon we have been on the go...and before that I avoided blogging because I needed time to think, there are problems with some bloggers and I feel bad for all involved, but I have no clue whats going on and kinda wanna keep it that way...I hate fighting, and back stabbing and all of that...but I do hope they all turn out ok and the hurt gets healed...

Well I am off to play with Ashley and take the dogs to the park for a nice long walk to tire them out lol...they all have to much energy for me
