Fun at the Races & the Zoo...

This weekend was filled with Indy races, 30 degree weather, coolers, and fun at the zoo. My awesome brother in law gave us free passes to see the Indy races in the special paddock area.  It was my first race experience and I really enjoyed it.  It was blistering hot, +32, luckily we were in a nice shaded area with free drinks and food.  I had 4 coolers over the space of the whole day which I thought was reasonable and I had small portions of the what was served for meals.  Not a whole lot of veggies were offered so I did my best and I avoided all the carnival fare, the mini donuts, the poutine, the wiggle fries etc...

We had excellent view to the pit where all the action was taking place.  Apparently these indy drivers lose 10 lbs per race...sign me up.

 

 

 

Had to take a picture of my brother-in-law's custom Nikes.  You can design your own at the Nike store in New York.

 

 

Sunday we went to our local zoo for an outing.

 

 

I would love this flower in my garden.

Fruit, fruit and more fruit.

 

 

Too hot to cook so sandwiches are in order.

 

 

A great weekend full of sun, and fun and feeling good about staying on target and NOT eating the mini donuts!

 

Have a great night everyone!
